Yep. Bonnie Brown Eyes looked like a winner about 70 yards from the finish line and then just went down out of nowhere. Hope both are OK.

Consequently, the 11 horse won, paying off $112,000 in the PK 6. If Bonnie Brown Eyes had finished, it would have been a carryover. I'm sure the person holding that ticket felt strange after the race was over.

I am pretty sure that he will get over it.

Seriously, the way Gomez fell off looked pretty bad. I really hope he takes the rest of the meet off.

I didn't mean that the winner of the pk 6 felt bad for the horse. I meant that it was some stroke of luck that the winning horse collapses 60 yards in front of the finish line, giving them $112,000. That's some twist of fate.

If his arm/shoulder is broken then it looks like they need to find a sub.
