Samm, Nice work
Scuds, I'm on the #4 with you next time out. The announcer was Walace from Oaklawn Park. Funny stuff and glad no one got hurt. |

that was too funny.
Bogey...I realized that it was the guy from Oaklawn as soon as I heard his voice and then halfway through the race he begins to stutter and gets lost as to which horses he is calling. He may be a nice guy, I dont know, but as far as calling races....hes flat awful. |

Some years back I was watching the races in England on TV (I was in England, too). It during the winter season so was a jump race. The course in question had, as usual, separate hurdle (easily knocked-over panels) and steeplechase (higher, permanent hedges) courses and since they used the some of the same flat stretches, parts would be railed off for each type of race. Well, on this day, the rails had been placed at the wrong place, so that the horses came around the final turn and found a railing in front of them. Being jumpers, some of them tried to jump it, others got pulled up and banged into it sideways. Some horses did finish but declared no contest.
And I heartily endorse the praise for the riders involved. They threaded a needle at racing speed without incident. Bravo. |

Maybe Arlington should try leaving the starting gate out there like that to slow the horses down as they take the final turn on the dirt - might prevent some injuries. |

not very often a gate is left in the way, but thankfully still very rare. thank goodness no one was injured.

check out the outrider story, too
The outrider did a nice job in that race, too. Dig a bit on the link and there's a separate story on the outrider's actions when he realized the gate was not going to move.
