First I've ever heard anything about him breaking bits. Suppose it's possible. Horse was named Regan's Lad. The equipment broke heading into first turn. Goudreau eased him to the middle of the track. Turned his legs to the side of the sulky and jumped. His leg's seemed to catch something in such a way it whipped his body and head into the track. He couldn't be saved.
