The track's jockeys agreed to cancel Wednesday's races in remembrance of Saez. The track planned a public memorial for him Thursday.
Juan Saez was riding Montezuma Express when his horse clipped heels with the one in front of him, Paddy's Note. Saez's horse fell, which caused him to be unseated. Another horse, Masaru, ridden by Ricardo Santana Jr., was unable to avoid Saez's horse and fell, unseating Santana Jr. as well
