Pincay breaks neck in Santa Anita accident

Friday, March 7, 2003 | 10:05 a.m.

Laffit Pincay Jr. broke a bone in his neck when he was thrown from his horse, an injury that could end the career of thoroughbred racing's winningest jockey.

Pincay was hurt Saturday at Santa Anita Park and will spend the next eight weeks in a cast, his son said.

Pincay, 56, was initially thought to have had muscle bruises on the back of his neck. He was expected to return to racing today and was booked on six mounts.
