BRIDGMOHAN: Out Indefinitely
Apprentice rider Jermaine Bridgmohan, fresh from smashing records and winning the jockey title at the recent Tropical at Calder meeting, will be sidelined indefinitely with multiple injuries sustained in a serious fall Wednesday at Gulfstream Park.
Thrown from 5th race mount Toms Mulligan, Bridgmohan suffered a broken collarbone and wrist, 2 broken ribs and a punctured lung, all on his right side according to Calder-based trainer Kim Graci. The accident occured on the first turn of the meet's first turf race, when the Robert Barbara trainee mistepped entering the backstretch while mid-pack and closest to the rail. Toms Mulligan did not fall in the incident, but the younger brother of veteran pilot Shaun Bridgmohan pitched forward to the right with the stumble, and into the path of several trailing horses which appeared to trample the Jamaican native. Transported to Regional Memorial Hospital in Hollywood, FL, where he remains and is resting comfortably, Bridgmohan never lost consciousness. The 18-year old entered the high profile Gulfstream season having set a mark for wins at the recently concluded Calder Fall-Winter meet and was the only rider named to a mount in every race on the card.
