UPDATE: Actually stopped once off the main track chute when confronted by a pony. Aaron Gryder (!) happened to be standing by and gathered Cal Flag and walked him back to the Koriner barn. He's fine...
Was standing by David Hofmans when Flag got free. As he steamed by, he ruefully said, "Well... There goes my pace." Hofmans had another great line while passing out Desert Code Breeders' Cup hats to a few friends. "You know Desert Code is undefeated in the Breeders' Cup."
