According to the chart for the 9th at Albuquerque Sunday, Nine Degrees “lost rider, fell.” But, as you will see, ’twas a lot worse than what that curt description conveys. Nine Degrees is (was?) two years old. That poor, poor baby.

That was absolutely horrific!!!!! It looks like the colt was severely injured in the right hind limb and possibly had a fractured spine/pelvis. It looks like the jockey knew the colt’s injury was extremely severe and anticipated that the horse was about to go down.
I wonder how much experience this jockey has had with horses going down with the same type of fracture(s) and therefore knew the severity from the start?
