[RC] [Guest] Seabiscuit jockey Gary Stevens injured in fall - Ridecamp ModeratorAndrea Day fetlocks@xxxxxxxxxxx FYI Jockey Recovering From Collapsed Lung After Arlington Fall Horse Ran Race Similar To Seabiscuit's Come-From-Behind Style POSTED: 5:09 a.m. CDT August 18, 2003 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. -- Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens remained hospitalized Monday, recovering from a collapsed lung suffered when he was nearly trampled in the Arlington Million. A spokesman at Northwest Community Hospital said Stevens was in fair condition. A statement released by the public relations firm representing Stevens said he is being treated for a collapsed lung. The statement said the jockey should be leaving the hospital in the next few days. Stevens' agent, Craig O'Bryan, told The Blood Horse magazine's Web site that Stevens was extremely sore but, quote, "it appears he was very lucky and didn't break anything." Stevens, who has a starring role in the movie "Seabiscuit," rode Storming Home in a come-from-behind finish similar to the movie but then fell off a few strides past the finish line in Saturday's race. Storming Home was disqualified. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
