it looked like he got stepped on by more than 1 horse including his mount. What a nightmare.

John Dasilva (NYPost) texted that Arroyo seemed largely fine leaving for hospital. Complaing of foot/lower leg pain...

My bad - Norberto was the pool stick guy - it was Vic Carrero who was the dirt slinger.

Looked very bad. Durkin was obviously "shaken" if I might use that word. He is normally very solid when incidents occur, but here, you could just hear how it affected Durkin.

I hope Norberto is OK.

I thought it looked liked his head might have gotten stepped on.
I think Durkin thought the same thing.

If he did, the horses foot didnt go threw the helmet. After he through him.

Apparently OK... Miraculously. Sore foot.

Agent Mike Monroe says Norberto will ride Thursday...

He must have been scared ---less.
He went down with all those horses behind him.
And he knew he was going down, he had plenty
of time to think about being trampled.

Like knowing you are going to have a bad car wreck.

horses throw their riders so threw is the past tense of what the horse does to make the rider hit the ground.

Imagine this:

The fatman takes his feet off the pedals
and sits directly on the seat.
He pretends that the staircase down
from the Capitol is the Veledrome.

He pushes off with his weight fully on
the seat, no support from the pedals down
the steps and coasts ever so smoothly
down the steps.

Can anyone name some large blue fruit that come
in pairs...
