[Wandering Eyes]

Jockey Mario Gutierrez, who went down in a spill in Sunday's ninth race at Gulfstream Park, has reported on X that he was not seriously injured. After being attended to on the course, Gutierrez was transported to the hospital with complaints of a sore hip.

“Counting my blessings today,” Gutierrez wrote. “Yesterday was rough, but I walked away with no broken bones–just some bruises and a lot of soreness. I can't thank the Gulfstream Park medical staff enough for their professional and kind help. Thank you for everything you do!”

Tyler Gaffalione also went down in the spill, but returned to the jockey's room without apparent need for medical attention.

Gutierrez has ridden 18 winners at the meet from 105 starters.
