Three jockeys were transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis following an incident in the sixth race Wednesday, July 30 at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The jockeys involved were Yarmarie Correa, Marcelino Pedroza Jr. and Santo Sanjur.
Willadean, ridden by Sanjur, fell heading into the first turn, causing two trailing horses, Jack's Summer and Pedroza Jr., and Band of Roses, ridden by Correa, to also fall. All horses returned to their feet and were caught by the outriders following the incident.
As a result of the incident, Race 6 was canceled with the remaining starters pulling up before the finish line.
Additional ambulances and support staff were called in from the Shelbyville City Fire Department to assist with transportation to Methodist Hospital.
The remaining races on the program continued after a short delay at Horseshoe Indianapolis.
