NEW KENT, Va. (WWBT) – A jockey is in the hospital after he was thrown from a horse while racing at Colonial Downs on Thursday.
Officials say during the race, the horse named Stanza “clipped heels,” meaning his front hoof hit his back hoof, throwing jockey Tyler Conner off his saddle.
Colonial Downs officials say the rest of the day’s games were canceled, and their thoughts are with Conner and his team.
