Jockey Lou Machado, one of the
leading riders on nearby half mile
tracks, died early today in Casualty
Hospital where he was taken after
a fall during the running of the
sixth race at Marlboro late yester-
day.
A horses hoof struck the 22-year-
old rider just below his cap line
fracturing his skull. Doctors said
Machado never regained conscious
ness.
The jockey was riding Spanish
Dot, an outsider in the wagering
and had pulled his mount toward
the rail entering the backstretch
when he went down.
Witnesses said Machado appeared
dazed but apparently waited until
he thought all horses had gone by
before rising from the track. He
crawled to his knees just as
Grumpy, an entry which had got
off slowly, rounded the turn.
One of Grumpy's hooves struck
Machado before the trailing rider
Woodrow Kirk, could swing Ills
mount away from the rail-

Maxine, and their 4-year-old son
