Official racecourse photographer Janian McMillan captured Hull's dramatic fall, which left him nursing an injured achilles for the rest of the day and forced stewards to scratch his later rides due to the fact there were no other jockeys on course.
Leicabeach was heading to the barrier stalls prior to the race when he shied at the winning post and sent Hull crashing to the turf.
The pair then went on to finish third behind Mixed Feelings but one race later, after finishing sixth on Sinister Sums, Hull was stood down for the remainder of the day.
"He couldn't really ride his mount out fully in the second event due to the pain in his foot so we had no choice but to stand him down," central west chief steward Todd Smith said.
