The replay is out there but chef Bobby Flay called the 8th race today at Spa - a $76,650 allowance/optional claimer for New York-bred three-year-olds and up going 1 1/8 miles on the main track.
Per the Times Union that 8th race included a bird hitting a jockey - not Mine That Bird or Summer Bird 
Jockey Sebastian Morales got hit in the face by a bird on the first turn but still managed to guide 32-1 shot Freddy the Cap to a victory in Sunday’s eighth race.
The unfortunate fowl struck Morales in the goggles and then bounced off jockey Julien Leparoux, riding A Zero Trap. Leparoux briefly looked back at the bird as it fell to the track.
“I didn’t see that bird,” said a laughing Morales, 23, who was uninjured. “It hurt a little bit because I looked up and the bird crossed me and he kept pinching my face … It’s funny, you know.”
Morales briefly adjusted his goggles but kept his composure and won the nine-furlong race by a head over Groomedforvictory.
Morales said nothing like that had never happened to him.
Hopefully a protest by the PeTA folks tomorrow at the track won’t happen
When the horses came out of the gate, Flay exclaimed, “And they’re smokin’ out of the gate!”
At the conclusion of the race, NYRA Track Announcer Tom Durkin said, “Thank you, Bobby, and thank goodness you know how to cook a soufflé.”
