How did All you guys that are actually at Saratoga Miss this. I read this in the NY Post this AM.



SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Retired Hall-of-Fame jockey Gary Stevens, who was planning to un-retire for a few minutes next Friday to ride in the "Young Guns vs. Cagey Veterans" race at Arlington Park, suffered an apparent broken collarbone in a freak accident yesterday morning on the main track here. Stevens was working WinStar Farm's Thatcatismine, a 2-year-old by Horse of the Year Mineshaft out of multiple stakes winner Catinca, when the colt collapsed and died, right in front of the breakfast crowd on the clubhouse porch. An autopsy is pending.

Thatcatismine's trainer, Todd Pletcher, was fined $200 "for employing an unlicensed employee." (Stevens is now a TV commentator and actor.)
