There was a three-horse spill in the stretch of the eighth race at Laurel Park on Saturday.

Gato Dolce, who was fighting for the lead outside Royal Crusader in the vicinity of the eighth pole, appeared to take a bad step and fell, throwing jockey Edwin Gonzalez to the ground. Chargin Storm, then fell over Gato Dolce, unseating Elvis Trujillo. My Train, with jockey Steve Hamilton up, fell over the two fallen horses.

After several minutes, Gonzalez and Trujillo got to their feet. Hamilton was down longer but was helped to his feet and to a waiting ambulance.

Gonzalez was unhurt and Trujillo was sore and taken for X-rays on his shoulder, according to jockey agent Kevin Witte, who represents both riders.

Hamilton has some neck pain but basically appears to be okay, according to his agent, Ben Feliciano Jr., who was with him in the emergency room.

Gato Dolce was euthanized. According to observers, Chargin Storm and My Train got to their feet after the accident, ran off, and were caught and brought back by the outriders.

In the Super Hi 5, there was a carryover of $1,731 from race 7. Only four of the seven starters in race 8 finished.

The money wagered into the race 8 pool was paid out to tickets with the first four finishers (7-1-3-4) and "all runners" in the fifth position. Winning $1 tickets paid $945.20.

According to track officials, the carryover from the proceeding race "was not forced" into the 8th race pool and instead was carried over to race 9, a race in which nobody selected the winning combination.

There will be a carryover of $4,016 into the rolling Super Hi 5's on Sunday, which start on race 3, as the first two races each only have six betting interests.
