Emtech, a 3-year-old colt, sustained a fatal injury to his right foreleg in a one-horse spill in the stretch of Saturday's eighth race, a six-furlong optional claimer, according to official veterinarians.

Jockey Mario Gutierrez fell heavily and was attended to by ambulance personnel before he walked off the track slowly. Gutierrez was being examined in first aid in the minutes after the spill.

Emtech was attended to by track veterinarians. The colt was racing just behind the leaders when he was injured.
