Jockey Patrick Husbands is fine after being ejected from his mount inside the gate in Wednesday evening’s seventh race.

Husbands, who currently ranks second in the standings with 89 wins, was flung out of the starting gate after his mount, Grenade, acted up prior to the race.

The five-time Sovereign Award winner, who won the Triple Crown with Wando in 2003, was taken to the infirmary before being taken to a local area hospital.

“He’s a little sore, but he’s fine,” said Husbands’ agent, Gary Kemplen. “He will be back riding today.”

Husbands has 1,783 career wins, including 131 stakes scores, as of September 24.
