Maiden Animal Spirits overtook Coalport in the final strides to capture the $150,000 Bourbon Stakes (gr. IIIT) on the turf after pacesetter Here Comes Frazier bounced into the rail in the homestretch at Keeneland Oct. 9.

Jockey Julien Leparoux was thrown over the rail past the three-sixteenths pole but rose under his own power after a couple of minutes and walked off the course. Leparoux, who won eight race during the first days of the Keeneland meet, later complained of pain in his left hand but rode in the next race, the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes (gr. I).

  • Down Goes Frazier, Down Goes Frazier, but like a true champion was able to get up. I'm glad both Jockey and horse will be fine.

  • This is the thing that makes us fans sick to our stomachs. Not only because it was a very bad spill, but we are going to get the same reaction as did Eight Belles, and Geroge Washington who both died on track during a major race.

  • why the fuck does he keep saying it's a awkward move?

  • I kinda looked like to me the horse behind him ran into his Frazier's butt but idk maybe not....

  • Surgery Oct. 13 on promising 2-year-old colt Here Comes Frazier to correct a multi-piece fracture of the right hock (tibia bone) was successful and the prognosis is good the son of Badge of Silver could eventually return to competition, according to trainer Ken McPeek’s office.

  • Frazier was on the verge of running off the whole race... jock shouldn't get on if he's not strong enough to control the horse. He had absolutely no control in the stretch.

  • I hope Frazier doesn't die! I love him and I always will! If he doesn't make it promise to always still love him, even if he's dead. :(

    I love you, Frazier <3

  • Can someone please give me an update on that railing! It took a big hit, Oh God I hope its okay, poor thing didnt do anything to anybody. This world is so cruel!!!

  • @VivaLaEquus Hate to kill your trip, but that is what TVG reported the day following the race. I am now aware that Frazier was hurt, but his surgery went well and he could even come back next year. The horse is walking normal, and I apologize for my lack of sources. Once again, TVG reported Here Comes Frazier was perfectly unharmed, and I took their word for it.

    Being a horse owner myself, I'm perfectly aware that just because a horse gets up, doesn't mean he's okay. Ask my deceased gelding.

  • @ddwill8485 I hope the horse is fine. I hope the jocky is fined.

  • IS THE HORSE OKAY?!

  • poor horse is not his fault ass holes do that for fun
