I'm sorry for everyone who knows him.

Does anyone know exactly what happened?

I saw on a blog on NTRA.com yesterday that the horse threw him and then clipped him in the head. Didn't sound that serious at the time though and they've since removed that part of the blog. Very sad.

So sorry to read this story....
One of my favorite parts of going to Saratoga each year is going to the Oklahoma Track in the morning and watch all of the horses work out and talk to the exercise riders.

The exercise riders as a group are always so friendly and nice to a stranger like myself.

Just a sad story that puts everything in perspective.....

information from this morning....he fell while galloping on the training track...not breezing...was up and walking after the fall...claimed the saddle slipped but saddle was found to be fine..was taken to Saratoga Hospital....while at the hospital suffered a massive stroke and was airlifted to Albany Med...not likely directly related to the fall...
