Scioto Downs Accident: Aaron Merriman and Kayne Kaufmann

Thx for posting this Lonnie.  I was just attempting to do the same after seeing the N/C for that race last night.  The track management should have posted something in real time instead of leaving it hanging overnight.  News is news and doesn’t discriminate between positive/ negative or happy/sad.

I still think you should get a job in the standardbred media industry!  At least OHHA got on it this morning after the private posting occurred in real time.

You're welcome.  I was just sharing what I had found on Facebook.

Aaron should tell the Doctors and Nurses to google him.

And bring him some beer and alcohol 😉

A later update included information that the Buckeye, David Miller suffered a fractured ankle or leg, requiring surgery.

So 6 drivers went down (Kaufman, Merriman, and Miller out with fractures.)  Trevor and Tyler Smith both off drives tonight.  Their cousin, Luke Hanners, driving tonight, and he has 3 wins thru the first 8 races tonight at Scioto.

 Early indications are that the horses are ok.  But if they could talk, then they might say otherwise.  As a natural prey animal, their instincts are to show stoicism.  Once the adrenaline wears off, then no doubt there will be some injuries identified.  Hopefully, all minor.
