[h=2]Bizarre ending to Thursday's card at Gulfstream Park[/h][FONT=&quot]In what should certainly make the number 1 slot on ESPN's Bad Beats list for the week, one anonymous player lost what appeared to be a certain $571,744 payday after Cryogenic ducked from a righthand stick and lost his rider, Emisael Jaramillo, while approaching the wire with a seemingly insurmountable lead in Thursday's finale at Gulfstream Park. Cryogenic, who went postward at odds of 8-1, was one of two single tickets alive for the entire jackpot in the $.20 Rainbow 6, a pool that had already survived for 14 consecutive days.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Jaramillo was taken by ambulance to the hospital complaining of pains in his chest but while able to move all his extremeties following the frightening incident. Although he fell in front of the entire field, none of the other horses appeared to strike Jaramillo, with early reports indicating it was his own horse, Cryogenic, who might have stepped on the stricken rider as he lay helpless on the turf.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Revolving Son, a 14-1 shot, was the beneficiary of the mishap, earning the victory which was the third win on the day for trainer Armando De le cerda. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] There will be a carryover of $449,447 in the Rainbow 6 when racing resumes on Friday.[/FONT]

Oh man, that's pretty wild. What do you mean by he ducked from a righthand stick?

This is way worse but I can remember a number of years ago attending the Florida Derby and my horse went down near the final stretch (Midway Cat) and had to be euthanized after the race.

i disagree with the author who wrote the story. Looks to me like the horse got spooked by something he saw on the racetrack or in the crowd the way he turned his head. Horse looks like he is wearing an open bridal so he is seeing everything around him. Horse was getting hit with the whip down the stretch and was not reacting negatively. Two year old horse so anything is possible.
