I've heard broken collarbone, 2 broken scapulas and a broken rib ...
Raffy is tough ... But I'm thinking this will even keep HIM our for 2 or 3 months.
VERY glad he's going to be ok. Raffy is a great guy too ... VERY sad for Gameboy Luke though ... Hate losing one of my kids. He had really been coming on as of late too. :(
Here is a picture of Luke from the race prior to his fateful one ... The pic is from March 22nd ... He was gorgeous. Click on the pic to make it bigger.

Handsome equine. RIP.
Raffy is doing much better, but it seems as if it may be a while. But word is, he'll be back as good as new. Let's hope so!
The only addition injury wise, is that he has 4 broken ribs ... not just 1 like I was hearing before.
This from a jockey friend who was visiting him a couple of days ago.

Sounds like a very close call. Wishing him a speedy and complete recovery.
