Last updated: 1/26/08 8:40 PM

Jockey John Jacinto sustained an

apparent shoulder injury when he was thrown from his mount in Saturday's

10TH race at Fair Grounds. Jacinto was aboard first-time starter All Boy (Storm

Day) when he was thrown under

the rail just inside the sixteenth-pole. He was taken from the track on

a stretcher and transported to Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans for X-rays after

complaining of pain in his shoulder.

Jacinto, 31, was born in Lima, Peru, but moved to the United States in

1999. Through Saturday, he ranks tied for fifth in Fair Grounds' jockey

standings with 30 wins. He won his 1,000th career race in September at

Louisiana Downs.

All Boy was euthanized with an injury to his right front leg.
