A jockey has died after being thrown from her horse during a race in Darwin.

Simone Montgomerie was thrown from her horse Riahgrand in the home straight of race six on Monday afternoon.

She was treated at the scene where her heart reportedly stopped several times.

She was revived and taken to Darwin Royal Hospital, but died on Monday night.

"Simone was a champion jockey at the top of her game and a pioneer of women in racing who will be sorely missed," Chief Minister Adam Giles said in a statement.

"This is a sad day for the Australian racing industry."

He extended his condolences to Ms Montgomerie's family and friends.

Montgomerie's father Peter Montgomerie, trained 2005 Melbourne Cup runner-up On A Jeune.

The rest of the carnival, including the Darwin Cup itself, was cancelled by officials after speaking with other distressed jockeys in the tight-knit NT racing community.

A full investigation into the circumstances of the accident has already been initiated by stewards, said Chairman of the Darwin Turf Club Brett Dixon.

"As far as the Darwin Turf Club is concerned, she was our family, and we're all devastated by this accident," he told a press conference in Darwin.
