Not a good way to start Saratoga

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.

Bad start to the meet could have been much much worse. everybody has seen the chain reaction when the leader of a race goes down, thank God no one else fell over him and also that Johnny V or Rojas wasn't trampled. Also, I believe it was Coa who did a great job to avoid the spill and manage to stay on his horse when it looked like for sure he was on the way off too. Hopefully this is the first and last incident of the meet.

this is a small piece of an article from drf.com
