Jockey Trevor McCarthy Transported to Hospital

Jockey Trevor McCarthy was transported to Saint Barnabas/Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch after his mount Calypso Run clipped heels at the top of the stretch, unseating the 21-year-old journeyman in Monmouth’s 10th race Sunday afternoon.

“He went for further neurological testing,” said Dr. Angelo Chinnici, Medical Director for the racetrack, “which will include a CAT scan of the brain and other tests.  He was complaining of a severe headache, so I sent him for extra testing.”

McCarthy, a native of Wilmington, Del., was moving up along the rail in Monmouth’s $70,000 Miss Woodford Stakes when he was unseated.

Prior to Sunday’s incident, McCarthy had ridden 25 winners from 165 mounts, good for fourth in the overall Monmouth standings.
