00:06 Maria Alejandra Broussois was flung from her out-of-control horse and smashed into a rail
00:12 during a contest in Venezuela. She had been riding the favorite "Sun Cab" when the devastating
00:18 collision occurred. Footage from the race, which Sun Racing is not showing, captured Broussois
00:24 racing away from the main body of the field. Her horse appeared to jink into the rail with
00:29 the jockey coming off and smashing into the dirt. Broussois was reportedly treated on the track
00:35 before being rushed to a nearby hospital where she tragically died from her injuries.
00:39 Footage posted on Facebook showed her "smiling beautifully" just moments before the fall that
00:45 killed her. Her passing was labeled an "irreparable loss," as Kentucky Derby-winning
00:50 rider Sonny Leon led the tributes. He said, "How sad for all of us equestrians who know you,
00:56 Maria. Rest in peace friend. May God have you in glory.
