Campbellville, ON — An accident occurred during the second race at Mohawk on Saturday night (July 2), unseating a pair of drivers in the first Summertime elimination.

Visible Gold, driven by Jack Moiseyev, was fourth coming into the final turn when the 3-year-old gelding fell, unseating Moiseyev, which caused interference to the rest of the field.

No Flash In Pan, driven by Luc Ouellette, could not avoid Visible Gold, unseating Ouellette as well. Rock On Moe driven by Chris Christoforou was able to avoid the fallen horses.

Ouellette was able to walk off the track under his own power, while Moiseyev required medical attention. Moiseyev was transported to hospital.

Moiseyev’s fiancée, Joanne Colville, confirmed that he suffered a broken fibula, but is doing well.

“He is very uncomfortable right now,” said Colville. “He will be better when we can get him home and into a comfortable bed. There have been some guys already into the emergency room to see him, which brought his spirits up.”

She also says they will be hoping to see a specialist by mid-week.

Visible Gold appeared to escape serious injury.

Additional updates will be posted when more details are released.
