Tony McCoy was taken to hospital after suffering a facial injury when he fell from his horse at Wetherby.
The 17-time champion jockey, 38, was unseated from the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Mr Watson shortly before the Novices' Hurdle.
McCoy was attended to by paramedics, but was able to get to his feet before being taken to York hospital.
He secured his 100th winner of the season at Hereford on Thursday, and hopes to ride at Ascot on Saturday.
Wetherby clerk of the course Jonjo Sanderson confirmed McCoy was stood down for the day.
"He's conscious and walking, but he has been referred to hospital in York - I believe as he has a bad facial injury," he said.
McCoy is booked for four rides at Ascot on Saturday, and Sanderson added on Friday: "I don't know if he'll be riding tomorrow."
