My thoughts and prayers are with him and his connections...Another rough luck patch for Matz and co.

Bramlage compared it to Barbaro's injury except in a different leg

I don't think the slop caused the bad step.

It's pretty sloppy. It looked like Chelokee took a bad step or hit a bad spot, it happened really fast. Poor Michael Matz

Or had a previously injured leg reinjured? Horses take bad steps when their legs break, not vice versa.

Some cautiously good news about Chelokee, per ESPN, they set his ankle and he is walking on the leg and is on his way to surgery.

Any info on Chelokee? From the video feed it looked like he slipped, and didn't break down in the 8th. Hopefully he and his rider are OK

Edwards said on ESPN that they're cautiously optimistic, and that he's standing and walking with some kind of splint right now, I believe. Won't be sure whether they can perform surgery until they do some more tests.

Byk said that Chelokee is being taken to Rood and Riddle for possible surgery.

Chelokee had a ton of gas in the tank and was dragging Ramon up onto Wanderin Boy's heels. He had no place to go and I'm not sure if they clipped heels or he took a bad step when Ramon took him up. It almost appeared that Ramon bailed.
