"Jockey Dennis Carr underwent head trauma surgery at Highland Hospital in Oakland, Calif., Sunday night after being seriously injured in a starting gate accident in the fifth race at Golden Gate Fields. His mother, Joan Carr, said his riding career is over.

“He was in surgery all night – for six or seven hours,” the 46-year-old jockey’s mother told the Paulick Report. “Doctors found brain bleed. He has a severe head injury, and they had to remove a portion of his skull.

“He made it through the surgery,” she added, “but his racing career is over. He’ll never ride again.”
