ERIE, Pa --- Jockey Jesse Jimenez Garcia, 52, was injured Saturday evening at Presque Isle Downs when his mount flipped over on him in the paddock.

Garcia, who has 2,075 Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse wins in his career, has four wins at Presque Isle in his first season here.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - The leading story line heading into the Grade 2, $195,000 Monmouth Cup on Saturday was the return of Flat Out after a lengthy layoff.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – It has been a long, winding road for the gelding Saint Leon. A one-time $5,000 conditioned claimer at Mountaineer Park, the 7-year-old made the first stakes start of his career in the $100,000 Arlington Sprint on Saturday, and he won it, leading from start to finish under E.T. Baird.

Saint Leon popped the gate and outsprinted Birdie Beats Par for the lead, turned back a challenge from 2011 Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Regally Ready at the top of the stretch, and then held off a sustained late bid from 2010 BC Turf Sprint winner Chamberlain Bridge.

Long-time followers of New York racing learned that lesson long ago when it comes to the Hall of Famer Jerkens in a stakes race.

The Grade 2 Smile was marred when Field Commission was pulled up by jockey Manoel Cruz in the run down the backstretch and vanned off after the race. Several minutes earlier, Peb Hughes was scratched on the advice of the track veterinarian after injuring himself in the starting gate.
