For the second time in a little more than a month jockey Ryan Fogelsonger was involved in a major spill.
The 2002 Eclipse Award winning apprentice was riding Christmas Slippers, the 2-1 favorite in Thursday's 8th race at Pimlico, when the filly appeared to prop at the M-= mile pole.
Fogelsonger, who hustled his mount from post No. 2, was thrown towards the rail and kicked by his horse. He endured several lateral summersaults before coming to a rest and lying motionless on the turf.
