Three jockeys were hospitalised after the fall, but Hackett was the most serious.
He was airlifted to Liverpool Hospital and remains there, Racing NSW reporting he was stable in an induced coma on Monday morning.
The well-known jockey underwent surgery on Saturday night following critical head injuries and family remains at his side.
Ricky Blewitt and Michael Gray were also hospitalised, the former in Westmead and the latter in Dubbo.
Narromine-based Blewitt has stable in-displaced thoracic spine fractures and Racing NSW reported he will rest for six weeks to heal.
He also has a scapula fracture that will be treated with a sling and a rib fracture that requires rest and conservative management.
Racing NSW's Dr. David Duckworth reported Gray underwent an MRI scan on his cervical spine on Monday and if the results of that were clear he would be discharged from hospital early in the week.
Gray also suffered a fractured clavicle that will requires surgery on Wednesday. He also has a wrist fracture and a thoracic spine fracture which requires rest to heal.
