Jockeys Alex Bisono, Martin Garcia and Martin Pedroza escaped serious injury after being involved in a spill in the fourth race Thursday at Hollywood Park.

The chain-reaction accident began when Royal Change, ridden by Bisono, broke a leg while leading the $40,000 maiden claiming race.

Bisono went down, as did Garcia and Pedroza.

Bisono was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle and Garcia with a sprained left wrist. They were treated and released later from nearby Centinela Hospital Medical Center. Pedroza walked away from the accident.

Royal Change, a 4-year-old daughter of Royal Anthem owned in part by trainer Walther Solis, was euthanized after breaking her right foreleg. No Tip For You, the filly ridden by Garcia, and Mudder Of Pearl, ridden by Pedroza, were apparently uninjured.
