It's very, very bad. He is still in intensive care, they are trying to stop the internal bleeding. Corey Lanerie told me Saturday that his pelvis is broken in 2 or 3 places, as well as the fractured ribs already mentioned. I also "heard" that the spleen is involved as well but have no conformation on that.
I haven't found any further updates today and of course the track is dark.
Elvis is a really good jock in our local colony, hate to use the word great, but to me he is a great local veteran rider. He has many fans. You can never count EJ out especially when teamed with Pat Mouton.
Very tragic that this has happened. Obviously he is out for the season and he will be sorely missed at The Fairgrounds.
