According to the chart, 3-year-old Shake of the Reins “took a bad step, fell” and was eventually carted away in the 2nd at Evangeline last evening. Here is how it looked:
“A spill at the back of the pack” – vile.

Who else remembers CHARISMATIC with a broken leg and jockey Chris Antley jumping off and holding up the colt’s broken leg to save him from further injury/injuries in the 1999 Belmont Stakes?
Sorry for the technical difficulties again. *Who knows if the jockey had to vomit that morning to make weight? He might not have had the bodily strength and coordination or quickness of mind to jump off the injured horse. Of course, it’s possible to get hurt jumping off early but I’m sure it doesn’t feel good to go down with the horse either.
Usually the word “spill” is used to describe more than one horse going down on the racetrack as far as I have noticed up until now. The jockey evidently was not skilled enough to jump off the injured horse before the horse fell in a somersault-like motion.
