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

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.
