I didn't see it nor want to but I did hear he is in critical condition...there were multiple accidents in the race at different points..the rest of the card was cancelled

RockHardTen1985 10-14-2014 08:20 PM

Im reading on FB that he has passed away.
Very sad.
RIP

Sorry to hear this. RIP

I played race 2, 4 and 6, then had to go out for a bit, so I didn't see the accident (Thank God!). So sorry to hear of this. Is he Luis Saez's brother? So, so sad. I know it's part of the game... I mean there are incidents in other sports, but... I don't know. ::sigh:: Not that this has anything to do with the accident (I don't know if it does or doesn't), but the conditions at Indiana Grand today looked awful. Is there something such as gambler's guilt, or is it just a girl thing??

Jockey James Graham just tweeted that he is still fighting for his life, I hope that is accurate and that he somehow pulls through.

[-O< Praying that he pulls through.

Brian Zipse reports that Juan Saez did not survive his spill at Indiana Grand. R.I.P

I read that on the homeless handicapper page on FB. The poster is the leader who is on top of his ****. Hopefully they are wrong though.....

Arletta 10-14-2014 09:02 PM

Lets pray this is not true and that he is still alive fighting for his life.


Byron king is reporting the hospital stated he is still alive.

Arletta 10-14-2014 09:11 PM

Silence.. as we wait and pray.

Arletta 10-14-2014 09:14 PM

He is still alive.. Very very critical.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Merlinsky 10-14-2014 10:16 PM

He is, at present, still alive. Let's not write him off just yet.

From Marty McGee per DRF's Twitter:

That's awful, so young.
Hang in there kid:{>:

mclem0822 10-15-2014 05:41 AM

How awful........
 
Condolences to the Saez family, just horrible. :( RIP

herkhorse 10-15-2014 07:58 AM

Wow , so sad 17 years old.

I know they cancelled at Indiana today, but he had mounts at Keeneland today.
It's hard to look at the pp's.

MaTH716 10-15-2014 08:17 AM

An absolute tragedy.

I read where he flew home to Panama on Monday to surprise his father for his Birthday and now he's gone. Just heart-breaking.

My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to his family.
