The third race at Keeneland April 11 was declared a no contest when the Ismael Bahena-trained Ransomware stumbled going by the wire the first time, unseating jockey Santo Sanjur.
When Sanjur failed to get to his feet immediately and required medical attention, outriders flagged the racing jockeys to pull up their horses immediately around the final turn. Sanjur’s mount, the 5-year-old Ransom the Moon gelding Ransomware , was apprehended and walked off the track on his own accord.
Sanjur was placed on a stretcher by the Keenland EMT team for further evaluation. He was reportedly complaining of pain in his hip.
A graded stakes-winning jockey, Sanjur has ridden 874 winners in his career for $22,392,376 in earnings.
Refunds were given for the exacta, trifecta, and superfecta as well as win, place, and show wagers.
