![]() 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. Eric |

I think Durkin thought the same thing. If he did, the horses foot didnt go threw the helmet. After he through him. |

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. |

![]() Good to hear he's ok.
Hard to make sense of why he went down. He starts out with his left leg out of the iron and, by the turn, the other is out and he's COMFORTABLY riding bareback. Towards the end of the turn, without much of a struggle to stay on, he just falls off. The horse didn't take a bad step and was keeping a straight path. Odd |

To be honest? It's a f'n miracle he's totally unharmed.

Our cameraman, who's a rider, thought he might have lost his balance when the horse switched leads. Let me know if you can see that. Either way, pretty scary, and thankfully he sounds like he'll be OK. Eerily worth noting that today is the very sad 20th anniversary of the death of Mike Venezia.

![]() 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... |
