Houghton, Machado Injured In Mahoning Valley Spill; One Horse Euthanized

Jockeys T.D. Houghton and Luan Machado were hospitalized following a three-horse spill in Saturday's sixth race, the Howard B. Noonan Stakes, at Mahoning Valley racecourse in Youngstown, Ohio, according to a GoFundMe post that is seeking contributions to help defray medical costs.

One horse was euthanized as a result of the incident.

According to the Equibase chart, Machado's mount, Startdfromdabottom, fell just past the five-sixteenths pole while in fourth position in the six-furlong race for Ohio-registered 3-year-olds. Two other horses trailing behind him, Hakman (ridden by Houghton) and Big Truck (ridden by Sonny Leon), could not avoid Startdfromdabottom and also fall. A fourth horse, To Win (ridden by Fernando Salazar Becerra) avoided the incident but was eased.

Hakman was euthanized as a result of injuries suffered from the fall while the other three horses affected by the spill walked off.

According to Ohio-based horse owner Carly Hamel, who established a GoFundMe page, Machada sustained a fractured clavicle in the spill. Houghton has multiple facial fractures and will require surgery. According to Hamel, Houghton is under sedation in a nearby hospital's intensive care unit.

Houghton is currently fifth in the Mahoning Valley jockey standings with 31 wins from 215 mounts. Machado is next with 30 wins from 177 starts.

A veteran who began his riding career in 1987, Houghton has compiled 6,066 career wins from 37,781 starts, ranking in the top 10 nationally by wins on several occasions – as recently as 2015 when he won 259 races.

Machado began riding in 2015 and has won 185 races in 1,218 starts.
