I saw him take a very nasty fall, yesterday on his final mount at Philly. Anyone know anything on his condition? It looked real bad.

Following the eighth race, jockey Carlos H. Marquez Jr. was taken to Jersey Shore after being unseated from his mount, Back Pocket Money, during the post parade.
Its precautionary X-rays, said Angelo Chinnici, medical director for the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, regarding Gomez. He was awake and alert. There is no neurological deficit, but after reviewing the videotape of the fall, we agreed it was best to rule out any potential of a more serious injury.
Carlos was complaining of left hip and pelvic pain, said Chinnici of Marquez. His motor functions are intact. He has a possible pelvic fracture, so I sent him for X-rays either to confirm or rule that out.
