Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Wednesday at 09:57 PM Journalists Share Posted Wednesday at 09:57 PM Jockey Tyler Gaffalione was transported to a local Hallandale hospital for further evaluation after complaining of ankle pain prior to Wednesday's fourth race at Gulfstream Park, the track said in a Wednesday release. Gaffalione was shaken up during the post parade of the claiming event for 3-year-old fillies when his mount, China Blue (Social Inclusion), acted up and pinned his leg against the rail. Gaffalione was a replacement rider for Junior Alvarado, who suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's finale. Jose D'Angelo-trained China Blue was unhurt and finished third under jockey Emisael Jaramillo. Gaffalione was replaced on his remaining two mounts Thursday. He is named in all 14 races Saturday at Gulfstream, 10 of them stakes including California shipper Madaket Road (Quality Road) in the GI Curlin Florida Derby. His agent, Matt Muzikar, said following Wednesday's races that Gaffalione was awaiting test results.
