This story would have been so much funnier had a drunken Kent Desormeaux steered the horse into the lake...

Isn't there a small alligator in that lake?

This reminds me of a horse named Twostep Partner who was about to break his maiden at River Downs, but after getting a couple of right hand whips took a dip in the pond.http://emmy247.deviantart.com/art/sink-or-swim-60081003?q=sort%3Atime+favby%3Ahunter-jumper--lover&qo=21

The horse ending up in the lake is crazy enough, but on second reading I caught the part about the gate crew taking off their pants to wade in...
 How clean is the water in that lake anyway? I hope the scrapes on the horse weren't too bad. Wouldn't want anything to become infected. I'm sure they try to keep it as clean as possible, but you can only do so much.

I agree - and I'm glad the horse didn't stake itself going through the rails. Twice!

Many years ago at AP, on a red hot Saturday with the paddock packed with kiddies, JR Smith Jr was just starting out. Not sure who's horse it was either Dee Poulos or Emagene Schwan's went down in the saddling stall. I think it was the shorter of the two trainers but she ran out to the center of the paddock and the crowd gasped as they thought the horse had just died right there. Jr. jumped the railing and grabbed two ice bags from a near by beer cart, jumped back over the railing and put them on the horse's neck and as he hosed the horse off it rose up, shaked a bit and of course was scratched. I know JR's horse didn't win the race. And the cheers the crowd gave AFTER he came back thru the paddock after losing the race made it one of those times that you can't ever forget.
