A native of Jamaica, Maragh updated his status on Twitter early Saturday morning: "I have broken t5 and t6 vertebrae plus 4 more fracture from t4 to t7. Also broken rib and tiny punct(ured) lung. Was never released from hospital." Maragh, who turned 30 on Thursday, updated his status on Twitter at 12:38 p.m. (EDT) on Saturday: "GREAT news Dr says for now no surgery required. Won't be able to ride for a while but I should be walking out of here on my own 2 legs today." Yourcreditisgood regained his footing and was caught by the out rider before walking off the track unassisted.
