18/48 at Nakayama Racecourse on January 5 due to a falling horse accident involving two large injuries, including the Imperial Miura Horsemen
In a race at the JRA / Japan Chuo Racecourse held at the Nakayama Racecourse in Chiba Prefecture, there was a falling horse accident involving two horses, and the jockey Miura and others were seriously injured.
JRA will hold the first race of the new year at Nakayama Racecourse in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture on the 5th, and the last straight line of the 7 races on the 2,000 m course will be followed by a lucky advance rided by Kaito Otsuka. The Otsuka jockey fell off the ground.
As a result, Suzurosana, a Miura jockey who was running behind, also fell, and the Miura jockey fell off.
The two were immediately transported to a hospital in Funabashi City, but according to the JRA, Miura was suspected to have a broken left shoulder or left wrist, and Otsuka was brain stricken due to a severe head injury when she fell off. He was diagnosed with a serious injury with a suspicion of bruising. It means that they are both conscious and have no different life.
Miura is one of the JRA's leading jockeys who won 102 wins last year, and Otsuka is a newcomer who debuted in March last year.
The JRA has ruled that the Otsuka jockey who caused the accident was suspended for two days from this month.
