Anyway, even if he makes it back I highly doubt he will be the same horse. My friend says that there is no way the horse will make it back. I'll ask him what the exact problem is and why he is so sure that the horse will not make it back.

I would think that is a more serious injury than a popped splint. I know any injury can be devastating to a race horse, but I have experienced popped splints with my show horses and they do not make them go lame for an extended period of time. My show horses are usually back to their regular training regimen within a month depending on the individual animal and the circumstances. I do hope to see BR back because I really liked this horse, but I just don't think that it is going to happen.
