NFL Fans Are Praying For Bill Parcells After His Race Horse Suffered Gruesome Injury Right Before The Finish Line While Leading A Race (VIDEO)

Bill Parcells has reached the pinnacle of professional football twice, coaching the New York Giants to a pair of Super Bowl championships.

His coaching excellence led him to another sport. Parcells, a Hall of Fame head coach, has gotten very into horse racing, owning some major thoroughbreds.

Unfortunately, he got some terrible news this week regarding one of his horses.

His horse, Maple Leaf Mel, sustained a catastrophic injury to her leg just before the finish line at Saratoga. Because of that injury, she had to be later euthanized.

Love Bill Parcells, so rooting for his horse. Maple Leaf Mel. Went from jumping up and down to a wired sad feeling. I hope this horse is ok. I have never seen anything like this. Kind of in disbelief. pic.twitter.com/5gjsKMcg1d

Maple Leaf Mel was owned by August Dawn Farm, which includes Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells, who led the Patriots to a Super Bowl appearance during the 1996 season.

Jockey Joel Rosario was thrown to the ground and went to a hospital in Albany for further evaluation and to have stitches for facial abrasions, according to the New York Racing Association.

Maple Leaf Mel was 5-0 in her career.

Parcells coached 19 seasons in the NFL, including seven seasons with Big Blue, winning Super Bowl titles in 1986 and 1990.
