"Normally, the way it happens is the fracture above the ankle occurs first," he said. "Before [jockey] Edgar [Prado] could pull him up, the second fracture occurred. It's like if you were in a football game and twisted your ankle badly. The problem is, people know enough to stop. He ran on and that caused the second component to the injury."

Henchester, thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

HairOfTheDog, I wrote exactly that in Post 279 to you. Here's what I posted verbatim: "I knew almost immediately the break was above the ankle, the second break probably happened in those strides he took before the jock could stop him."

You seemed to have thought I was being a smartass or something. I called the break above the ankle before the vets announced it, and I called the sequence of breaks. Can you now at least give me at least some credit for saying what I believed to the the truth instead of just flapping my gums?

I might have, if you hadn't asked! It's not a matter of pride or contention where the fractures were. Many of us saw the same thing. But 'good job'!
