The last race at Santa Anita earlier today

[Calzone Lord]

8-to-5 favorite Tropiluk not only broke through the starting gate -- but also hit the back of his head on the top of the starting gate as he was in the process of rearing up and breaking through the gate.

They swung him around quickly -- had the vet look at him -- and within less than 2-minutes of breaking through the gate he was involved in a horse race. He finished a long way last in the field of 10.

Riveting, I know.
