This Freehold Accident concerning the starting gate is one of the worst ones I've ever seen. I can't imagine this starting gate doing what it did, I'm guessing it's driver error and the weather had something to do with it. Just terrible.

    Are the horse okay? 2 of them looked like they got smacked pretty hard - especially the one that rolled over the roof. Any word on whether they are going to be okay?

    They all actually made it out ok, a few drivers were badly injured with broken ribs but all will survive

    What a relief. I had a boss that raced horses once. Someone didn't groom the track right once after a rain or some such and his horse and another collided. Both broke a leg. The other person shot their horse. My boss said no - and had the horse's leg fixed. It could never race again but he loves his horses, so it lives in a nice pasture with some other horses, and his owner giving him some quality attention time. I've always liked and respected that man for this.
