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.

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.....

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

From Marty McGee per DRF's Twitter:

Just got text from agt RDePass, en route from NY via air to be with Juan Saez in Indy: "Severe brain damage; profuse bleeding; revived 3x."

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.

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.
