In other racing action, jockey Rachel Lavoy was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for pre-cautionary x-rays after her mount, Pleasure Diver, lost the jockey down the backstretch near the 5/8ths pole during the running of the second race.
 
"She has a contusion at the head of the left tibia," said Dr. Molinari, staff physician at the Meadowlands. "She also has a hemotoma of the left thigh and a bruised right shoulder. She'll be okay, but I wanted her to get checked out with some x-rays."
 
Lavoy was treated by Dr. Benson and released from the hospital at approximately 10:40 p.m. Her mount, Pleasure Diver returned to the barn and was reportedly okay following the incident.
