Three drivers were sent to hospital after an accident occurred in the final turn of 10th race at Maywood Park on Friday night
.
Stylish Soiree N and John Roberts set off a chain reaction accident while storming three-wide to the lead after the three-quarter-mile mark. Just after clearing to the top, the Tom Harmer trainee appeared to take a bad step and went tumbling to the track leaving drivers Josh Sutton (Wating And Hoping), Todd Warren (Notjustaprettyface) and Marcus Miller (Bluebird Regal) with nowhere to go as the field bunched up heading towards the top of the stretch.
Miller walked away under his own power while Warren and Sutton were transported to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital via ambulance. Roberts also headed to the nearby hospital moments after the wreck had been cleared from the track. No further information on the conditions of the drivers was available as of press time.
All four horses involved in the spill were believed to be unhurt.
