Here Comes Frazier, a horse being ridden by jockey Julien Leparoux, was leading the $150,000 Bourbon Stakes on Sunday at Keeneland until the homestretch, when it veered a little too far to its left at the 1:37 mark of this video. The Daily Racing Form said Leparoux endured "minor injuries to his thumb and wrist," but that Here Comes Frazier has to have surgery for numerous fractures. The two-year-old colt is expected to survive, but it is unlikely to race again, according to its trainer. [ Outside the Boxscore/ Yahoo]
