Bad mishap at Golden Gate today?

I'm checking for details now, but just logged on to see the replay of the California Derby.

Noted that Russell Baze was replaced "at the last minute" by David Lopez....who went on to ride the winner Bwana Bull.


I clicked on the race prior for a clue, and the replay cuts out the video, but the real time track announcer noted Baze's mount "lost his jockey," and only four of the 8 or 9 horses finished the race.
