Horseplayers: Life at the Track (Ted McClelland)
Chapter 15: "'Seabiscuit' Jockey Nearly Trampled"
McClelland recounts his experience attending the 2003 Arlington Million, which ended with a controversial win for Sulamani.
Storming Home was actually the first to cross the line, but he was disqualified when stewards determined the horse's jockey Gary Stevens fell off Storming Home right before the finish.
Stevens spent three days in a Chicago hospital with a punctured lung and a broken vertebra.
