- Share via
Jockey Laffit Pincay, who was thrown from his mount in the second race Monday at Del Mar, will be sidelined indefinitely with a bruised lung and several broken ribs. Pincay was unseated in midstretch when his mount, Seal the Deal, swerved into the rail. Pincay landed on top of the inside rail.
Pincay, 41, was removed from his remaining mounts and taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, where he remained in stable condition Monday night. He was scheduled to remain in the hospital for a few days, according to hospital officials.
A preliminary examination showed Pincay suffered cuts and bruises, but X-rays revealed more serious injuries.
