Trainer Mel Stute remained hospitalized Monday after suffering a head injury in a fall at his home Saturday evening.
Stute underwent tests Sunday and was in intensive care Monday morning, according to his son, trainer Gary Stute. He said doctors thought that Mel Stute could be transferred to a private room later Monday.
“He’s still pretty disoriented,” Gary Stute said Monday.
Stute, 85, has not had a starter since December 2011, but has maintained a presence as a visitor at the races in Southern California in the last year. He is best known as the trainer of Snow Chief, winner of the 1986 Preakness Stakes and that year’s champion 3-year-old male.
Just went thru some hard times myself Mel....Am looking forward to seeing you at Santa Anita opening day!

MONCLOVA galloped out strongly after closing belatedly in her second trip postward May 26, from which the runner-up exited to graduate with a 68 Beyer. The daughter of Queen's Plate winner Niigon is bred to run long, and can break through with the stretchout from six and a half furlongs to a mile and a sixteenth. BE MIND PHIL is returning on short rest off a closing second in her debut, going a mile around one turn on the grass. She has a blend of speed and stamina in her pedigree.
