Don't forget about his jockey, Edgar Prado. If it wasn't for him this horse would never have made it off the track. The vets did a WONDERFUL job of putting him back together so far, but Prado got him stopped and prevented him from causing a compound fracture to his leg by trying to keep going after them. If he hadn't been so quick to stop him and get off and hold him still there would have been no choice but to put him down. The vets have said the only thing he had going for him was that he hadn't continued to run and didn't open the wound to compromise blood flow and cause infection. As it was his injury was horrific, but I am saying my prayers he will make it, he has too much courage not to. The jockey, owners, Mr. Matz, and all the vets are putting a huge effort out to save him. He is doing well so far.
