YONKERS, NY, Tuesday, April 15, 2014—Driver Andy Miller was injured in a
Yonkers Raceway accident Tuesday night.
Miller, driving Marmara Denizi—a
3-year-old gelding co-owned and trained by his brother, Erv—was in the back of
the field and unseated during the $10,000, first race pace.
Also unseated was George Brennan, who
was driving 13-10 favorite In the Clear.
In the Clear was a tight-pocket second
down the backside the second time when looked to slip out and appeared to step
on the wheel of a first-up Fiftyshadesofhay (Dan Dube). In the Clear went down,
as did Brennan, who did get up and resume his assignments for the evening.
Miller, who did not lose consciousness,
was taken to Lawrence Hospital in nearby Bronxville, NY. Updates shall be
provided if/when available. None of the horses appeared to be injured.
The race was won by Keystone Dalton
(Jason Bartlett, $9.30) in a maiden-breaking 1:59.
