Five-Horse Spill In Woodbine Opener Puts Three Jockeys In Hospital, All Horses OK

Woodbine | Michael Burns

A five-horse spill during the opening race of Woodbine's Friday card landed jockeys Justin Stein, Edgar Zenteno, and Da-Sean Gaskin in a local hospital while Woodbine communications reported that all horses involved walked off. The incident happened on the far turn of a $10,000 maiden claimer and appeared to have been triggered by No Layups (Preservationist) clipping heels in front of the pack with Whiskey N Ice (Old Forester). As No Layups tumbled over, the field behind had little time to react and four other trailing horses also went down. Only three runners finished the race led in by Whiskey N Ice who was disqualified and placed behind awarded winner Porsha's Run (Souper Speedy) and runner up Scotty's Love Chil (Mr. Scotty) who narrowly avoided the incident.

Stein, Zenteno and Gaskin were each reported by track announcer Robert Geller to be awake and alert and being transported for further medical assessment while the other two riders involved, Juan Crawford and Fraser Aebly, took off their mounts for the rest of Friday's card.
