He took a spill yesterday at Arlington Park, and underwent a 7-hour surgery. He has no feeling in his lower extremities and doctors say he may not walk again. He is 42 years old.

Here's a pretty good link.
Jingles are also needed for his mount. The last report I saw was from yesterday, but she was still unable to rise on her own and they weren't sure why.

ESPN.com also has a story with a more positive spin.
It's good news. Keeping my thoughts positive for a recovery.
