Saratoga Race Course stewards suspended the jockey Edwin Cotto for 30 days yesterday for causing a spill that left the jockey Mike Smith seriously injured.
Smith, the leading rider at the Saratoga meeting, fell off Dacron nearing the first turn in Monday's ninth race, fracturing two vertebrae, and will be out four months.
Cotto was guilty of grossly careless riding, said Dr. W. Theodore Hill, a steward. He had sufficient opportunity to help the other riders and didn't do it.
