Just passed the half, the horse in the pocket went down bad.  The race is declared a no-contest.  A horse is loose and running the wrong way of the track at full speed.  They cut the video, but not the announcer.  

Two circuits... and now going the right way at full speed.  It was the #7 JM's Determination that was loose, but it was the #2 Minnaea that went down.

The full race replay is still up on my ADW.  Looked like a normal Northfield inside line up 1293...Looks like the 2 really was struggling to sit comfortably behind the 1, a bit head strong.  Sad, 3rd turn the 2 horse is just barely restrainable and having to take the turn too then breaks and both front legs collapse in front, down to the knees, flips.  Then out of video.

I hope the horses, especially the 2 is ok.  Wishing the drivers too that they're well - Justin Irvine the #2's driver was tackled by a horse at high speed and him being at a dead stop while falling to the right.  Just awful. 🙏

I have to give Justin Irvine some credit, the easy thing to do would be to take tonight off and kinda collect himself. But he didn't, he's right back out there tonight racing like nothing happened. I tip my hat to him.

I'm going to reach out, we need to bring him on here for questioning.

I had to make sure, so, yeh he's driving, and I watched the replay at the point of impact 10 more times now to see not only the 4 hit him hard but possibly the 5 run over him (maybe not).

There is multiple driver changes today, and he's been listed on some of those.

Is there a safe way to get hit by horse at high speed and where you land just right?

A horse paralyzed Superman (Christopher Reeve), eventually that debilitation killed him.

Is he Justin Irvine or Clark Kent, or the guy from Unbreakable, what the what here people, the media didn't deployed for answers, this could be a THR exclusive.  Dude might need an agent, maybe he can start with stunt work and work his way up to super hero stuff.
