UPDATE: From the Chart Footnotes, the horse, Nopie, stumbled at the start, pulled up lame on the far turn and was vanned off.

I have someone who is now becoming a very dear friend working very hard to get more information on Nopie's status. The trainer is not answering his phone and his voicemail is full. Please hope for the best.

I'll keep you updated as I find out more.

Geez, that sucks. Hope Nopie's OK. You're trying to do a great thing.

Nopie is alive but trying to finish the deal and get him home is difficult from 1,200+ miles away. An amazing DTer is helping me by making all of the calls to the track, doing the negotiations and keeping me updated during this stressful time. We've still got a ways to go but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and and ever longer and better story to tell you about this whole experience once it's completed.

Stay tuned...
