14 JULY 2007, BANGLORE RACE COURSE

Accident in Horse racing, jockey Christopher Alford broke his collar bone and Aadesh Kumar was lucky to escape without injuries in a two horse pile up caused by the erratic course cut by Artic Blast during Saturday's races. The two horses which were victims of the crash were Winsons (Aadesh Kumar) and Onegina(C.Alford) who were both ethunaised as they had suffered grievous injuries.
Artic Blast, who drifted out from the rails, came into the path of Onegina. The latter clipped the heels of Artic Blast, causing Alford to be unseated. Winsons, who was full of running at this stage, ran into Onegina and jockey Aadesh Kumar too was thrown off from his mount.To Alford's bad luck, Winsons fell and rolled onto him and it took a few minutes before the jockey was extricated. The scene looked ghastly but luckily Alford who seemed to have borne the brunt of the accident, escaped with only a collar bone fracture while Aadesh Kumar was badly shaken up. Artic Blast, who caused this chain reaction, went on to beat Snob Value by a whisker but was subsequently disqualified following a Stewards enquiry.
