Jockeys were 162 times more likely to fall (95% confidence interval 137\u2013192;\n P<\/jats:styled-content>\n <0.001) and 171 times more likely to be injured (95% confidence interval 140\u2013208;\n P<\/jats:styled-content>\n <0.001) when they rode a horse that died in a race. We infer that jockeys were more likely to fall or be injured when riding in\n QH<\/jats:styled-content>\n races than in\n TB<\/jats:styled-content>\n races because of a higher incidence of horse fatalities in\n QH<\/jats:styled-content>\n races. Jockey falls occurred with 24% of\n TB<\/jats:styled-content>\n and 36% of\n QH<\/jats:styled-content>\n race\u2010related horse fatalities, and jockey injury occurred in 64% of falls. Jockey falls were most common with\n TB<\/jats:styled-content>\n fetlock injuries and\n QH<\/jats:styled-content>\n carpal, metacarpal and fetlock injuries; and with axial, bilateral and multiple injuries compared with appendicular, unilateral and singular injuries, respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Prevention of the most common catastrophic injuries and conditions of the racehorse, e.g. fetlock injuries, may be most effective at decreasing rates of falls and injuries to horseracing jockeys during racing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/evj.12392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,24]],"date-time":"2014-11-24T03:56:49Z","timestamp":1416801409000},"page":"50-56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["The role of catastrophic injury or sudden death of the horse in race\u2010day jockey falls and injuries in\n C<\/scp>\n alifornia, 2007\u20132012"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"P.
