Wow.. Just awful. 2 teens killed as well. Very sad.
Winningest trainer in racing history (9,445). More on accident: http://www.greenfieldreporter.com/ar...24/news/01.txt Bit on Baird: http://www.hbpa.org/HorsemensJournal...asp?section=7b Hard to believe but the NTRA does't even have a bio page for Baird. |
WOW...incredibly sad. Da Mountain will never be the same.
RIP D.B.:( |
Wow.. How surprising and so dang sad... Always bet a few on his horses.. God Speed Dale and my prayers go out to everyone who knew him.

RIP...I remember how Mario Benito tried so hard to beat him out for trainer with most wins year after year but he never quite made it...one year he lost by one when his 4 horses running the last day of the year all came up short...Mario passed on a few years back, may they both return as they left...winners! |
kev said it, the mountain will not be the same without Baird. this guy was like a machine, buying horses and winning races year after year. a sad and tragic day for all involved in that wreck.:(
|
This is just awful for everyone involved. RIP to all involved...
|
It was very sad, but especially so for the two teens. Driving with an empty trailer in poor weather wasn't too bright.

Hall of Fame
Hard to believe Baird is not in the Hall Of Fame.

Waterford Park, to equate to baseball, probably wasn't even single A level racing, more like rookie ball. Horses that couldn't win at Pen and CT and Tdn and Beu wound up at Mnr. So, again with the baseball, does a guy that hits 350 at single A wind up in Cooperstown? |
He not only needs to be in the Hall of Fame, he needs a statue in his likeness at Churchill Downs.
