In a horrific spill in the third race at Delaware Park on Thursday, five of the seven runners in the field fell or lost their riders nearing the far turn of the one-mile turf race for restricted $25,000 claiming fillies and mares.

Really, with Victor Carrasco aboard, was setting the pace on a short lead with Madame Curie and 6-5 favorite Showreel to her outside when she stumbled and fell. Carrasco was taken to Christina Medical Center where he was found to have broken the tibia and fibula in his lower right leg in two places, according to his agent, Tom Stift.

Madame Curie and Showreel were the only runners to finish the race. Madame Curie won by 8 1/2 lengths and paid $33.60 as the second-longest price in the field. The trifecta paid out to all horses for third and the superfecta paid out all horses in the third and fourth slots. The other two turf races on the card were moved to the main track.

Golden Earrings, with Jose Ferrer up, fell over Really. Ferrer was taken to nearby Christana Medical Center with considerable lower back pain and was still being worked on in the emergency room as of 6 p.m., according to his agent, Steve Worsley.

Pamzine appeared to stumble over Ferrer, unseating Andrew Wolfsont. Babie Monster also stumbled in the vicinity of Ferrer, throwing rider Jomar Torres.

Torres returned to ride in race 4. Victor Molina, Wolfsont's agent, said his rider was okay and would ride at Penn National Thursday night.

Edwin Rivera, the rider of My Tootsy, also was unseated. Rivera texted his agent Victor Molina that he was sore but okay.

According to the Equibase footnote, "all of the horses appeared to be okay" after the incident and were on their feet. The horses Pamzine, My Tootsy, and Babie Monster could be seen on the simulcast signal completing the course riderless.
