Jockeys E.T. Baird and Declan Murphy were injured in a spill during the sixth race at New York’s Aqueduct race track.

Baird broke his right collarbone and suffered possible injuries to his ribs and lower back, a track official said.

Murphy injured his left thumb.

The accident occurred when Baird’s horse, Silver Ornament, fell nearing the stretch. Murphy’s mount, Tuff Spot, then tripped over the fallen horse.
