Tough start to turf racing at Saratoga this year. The 4th race is a little bit of a mess.

I'm sorry to say that I've heard he's gone.

Rest in peace, good boy.

Thank you for the update, I was hoping you would keep us informed.
That's sad.
As you always say, he died trying.

Shoot, when I saw him still on his feet in the equine ambulance I thought he had a shot. Guess it wasn't meant to be. Poor guy.

This was a grass race, so you shouldn't hear anything about Poly...

It didn't look good at all, but I guess Johnny V was moving all limbs and Rojas.
Looks like Massoud just broke down, sad.

It didn't look good for Massoud. Looked like he tried to get up after he brokedown and couldn't. Sad, very sad.

Thats real sad, It looked like Massoud was going to win the opening race for the 2nd time in the row.

He was moving so fluently. Velasquez wasnt even moving a muscle on the horse. Just saw the head on and man Johnny was lucky. Massoud look as if he got up and galloped away. Not sure if he or L. Dan is ok.

I think Lieutenant Dan was the horse who you saw gallop away, after Rojas fell off. I could be wrong, I hope they are both okay...

Both jocks are ok. Also, see that things are perfectly normal, as I lost the photo since I had the 8.
