Ah, I was just about to add him after I updated the waiting thread.

Also Silver Nat....

In the fifth race, for $5,000 claimers, Silver Nat broke his left front leg while running on the final turn and was euthanized. Jockey James Graham, who was thrown from Silver Nat and appeared to be struck by the trailing Fabulous Freebord, rode in the next race. Graham took off the rest of his mounts. Britt McGehee, his agent, said after the races that Graham felt stiffness but was hopeful about riding Thursday.

As I said in the waiting thread this is highly unusual at the Fairgrounds, I think a black cloud is hanging over Gentilly.


RIP boys....
