Two jockeys injured at Calder

Jockey Gary Bain and apprentice rider Alexis Freites were taken to Memorial

Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday after separate and unrelated

spills at Calder Race Course.

In the 1ST race, Bain was unseated from his horse, Touch of Magic (Outflanker),

as they were turning for home and clipped heels with another horse. Bain was

alert, talking and moving but was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

Touch of Magic was unharmed.

In the 2ND, Freites fell from his horse, Local Forecast (Regal Classic), a few jumps out

of the starting gate after bumping with another horse. He complained of arm pain

and was transported to the hospital for X-rays and further evaluation. Local

Forecast also was uninjured.

Calder reopened for live racing on Sunday and Monday with abbreviated

five-race turf programs following Hurricane Wilma. No racing is scheduled for

Tuesday and Wednesday. Live racing will resume on Thursday with a nine-race

card.
