Sheikh Mohammed "got the best help in the world to take care of Bob," Schiappa said. Sheikh Mo was in his room just now. #baffert

Apparently the universe decided Bob's horses were doing too well and, instead of losing some races to balance things out, it opted for this. Glad to hear he's okay. Ya know, he really needs to calm down and be more laid back. Get well soon, Bob!

this really calls for one of Morty's (or whatever he goes by now) "who is Baffert?"

Glad to hear he should be ok.

You should take down the avatar and send the guy some flowers considering you probably mushed him into having a heart attack.
