It was one of those you see and just hope for the best. It was over before it happened.

Speaking of mishaps...

Did anyone see the driver at Meadowlands that lost his outside rein? The rein broke or something and the only thing he had to hold on to was the left rein. Well, tugging on that brought the horse over into the horse on his left. He did a great job, however, because he never caused an accident and was able to signal to everyone behind him to go around on the outside. Meanwhile, you could tell the guy was absolutely freaking out because he was positioning himself to bail. He eventually used the horse's tail to hold on until the outrider could grab the horse and bring it to a stop. That horse was NOT going to stop otherwise!! First time I had ever seen that. But, I don't watch much harness...
