They should have immediately took the blindfold OFF as soon as he was in.They left it on,and brought him out the front after the fiasco,and the blindfold was still on him and he was still freakin' out.He did not relax until finally someone reached up and pulled it off.Yes,it was a poor job by the starters.

What about the guy on the crew that grabbed the reins as QR took off out the front of the gate with the blindfold still on! If he doesn't grab the reins and QR bolts, I can't even imagine what a scared blindfolded horse does with a crowd like that in the stands - could have been very ugly.

I say we go back to walkup starts.

He went absolutely biserk. It even looked/sounded like he kicked the tire at the end of the gate. I wouldn't be suprised if he suffered some sort of career ending injury after that display. And agreed it was a terrible job done by the starters.

I'm not sure what they could have done differently. Karma is a bitch Mr Evans.

i've seen horses go haywire, but nothing like that today-and especially not in such a big race. and like derby cat said, luckily he didn't break loose through the front of the gate. hopefully he comes out of that incident ok.

SA Asst starters are probably the best in the business...You're right..the guy that took ahold of QR deserves a round of applause...he could've saved that horse's life by doing what he did...Excellent and Brave work by that guy...Hats Off to him...my gosh that guy had to be strong to do that...dance with a 3yo colt...forget about Zenyatta's dance..How bout that guy's dance?
