SARATOGA SPRINGS -- John Velazquez, one of the leading jockeys at Saratoga Race Course, survived a bad spill in the fifth race Saturday.
Repute, ridden by Velazquez, appeared to clip heels with Stogie Two coming to the top of the stretch.
Velazquez was thrown and appeared to get stepped on by Jimeric.
Velazquez, who complained of pain in his left shoulder, was taken by ambulance to Saratoga Hospital, where X-rays were taken. He was treated and released. Repute broke through the hedges and raced around the infield until he was caught. The horse was uninjured.
