Equine Safety Responses | April 20, 2022

Horse Name: Invader

Race: 7 (turf)

Age: 5

Trainer: Wesley Ward

Details: Invader was pulled up by jockey John Velazquez after finishing the race after appearing off in the left front. He was transported back to the barn and walked to his stall. Preliminary radiographs indicate an apical sesamoid fracture of lateral sesamoid in left front fetlock. Prognosis appears good.

 

Horse Name: Kennedy’s Beau
