Thoughts and prayers go out to he and his family. I used him twice last meet to ride for us - super great guy and a very astute jock.
Horrible to hear this happened. |
I was transported to Town and Country when I broke my leg in Tampa....I survived (I was there for about a week). We were in that race he getting on the 2 horse and we were the 3 horse. He got kicked HARD, everyone went to help him EXCEPT the ambulance and paramedics. They sat in their vehicle right off the gap clueless as to what was going on. The ambulance they called in arrived before the horses made it to the starting gate. I felt terrible for the poor guy. On another note the horse that kicked him was a first time starter and had some sort of seizure in turn heading for home. I am not sure if he made it.
