Jockey Abel Cedillo
A day after being unseated in a freak mishap, jockey Abel Cedillo won three times Friday at Los Alamitos in Cypress, Calif.
Released from Long Beach Memorial Hospital late Thursday afternoon after an MRI and X-rays showed no injury after he was dumped when Governance, his third race mount, apparently jumped a shadow midway around the far turn in the one-mile contest, Cedillo moved into a tie for the top spot in the rider standings with his hat trick.
The last of Cedillo's Friday wins – and his sixth through the first five days of the Los Angeles County Fair Winter meet – came aboard 2-1 favorite Acting Out in the $55,260 feature.
