    Update—Lava Man underwent colic surgery to correct a large colon displacement. He stood beautifully and is back in his stall to begin the recovery process. We want to thank the veterinarians and staff for their quick assessment and treatment. Thanks to all for the good wishes.

    Please keep Hall of Famer, “Coach” Lava Man in your thoughts and prayers. He is being treated medically for a colic episode. We'll keep you posted. Thank you. #LavaMan

    Congratulations and hats off to team Exaggerator. Nyquist looked them in the eye and never gave up today. He's still our champ!

    Origami is safe and sound after a fall in the fifth at Del Mar. We believe she clipped heels. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Tiago.

    Under the radar: Lava Man not only escorted HRC for training, but also walked him to the gate. Thx to @TracksideJennie for pointing out "the most accomplished horse to go to the post in this Derby is Hot Rod Charlie's stable pony." GREAT photo - Wendy Wooley of EquiSport photos
