Default Hawthorne - What a coincidence!

Talk about dusting yourself off and getting back up again!

Timothy Thornton was shut off while trying to come up the rail in Race 6 at Hawthorne today. It sure looks like Diego Sanchez will receive some days for the incident which could have been tragic. Thornton and horse were OK. Take a look:

Just three races later in Race 9, it almost looks like an identical set up with Sanchez's mount #6 leading while Thornton's mount #1A trying to come up the rail. It seems like Thornton initially wanted to go to the outside of Sanchez's mount, but was forced to stay inside by the #4 horse. This time Sanchez made the right choice and Thornton was succesfull. Thornton sure has a set of cojones.
