According to the agent, Aces N Kings’ stifle locked in the race. Hissam said he hadn’t yet had a chance to talk with trainer Henry Johnson Jr. about the colt’s condition.
“His rear end kind of went out from under him, and that’s what caused him to bolt and drop Calvin,” he said.
Borel was injured “where the joint meets in the upper jaw,” the agent said.
Borel also had a large laceration across his chin. He flew back from Louisiana on a private plane immediately following the accident and was hospitalized overnight in Louisville, where doctors were still determining whether surgery would be necessary.
