2yr old Fear the Dragon colt finished 2nd. I'm trying to recall, but last year another 2 year old got loose and went into lake. They saved that one. I'm thinking it was a Burke horse also.

This creates another issue. There were Buckeye stake races scheduled to race later in the program. When do you race them to fit into a schedule and a point system is involved. I'm thinking Northfield made a quick decision without thinking this through. Strictly a PR move cancelling the rest of the card. A lot of people hauled horses a long way to race.

Horse from the second race that was 2 got loose and drowned in the infield pond..
-
This is an incident that happens way too much......
Also happened at Miami Valley -- an Ohio thing ?
-
The horse chose death over another Burke needle

tough shit
Northfield, OH – The canceled Buckeye Stallion Series races from Monday night’s (July 11) program at MGM Northfield Park will be contested on Wednesday (July 13) at 4:00 p.m.
After consultation with the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association, the five remaining races will be contested as non-wagering events prior to Wednesday night’s program. Post positions will remain the same and horses that were scratched prior to the cancellation will remain scratched.
The live racing program will follow the non-wagering races at 6:00 p.m.

The fuck is wrong with you?

Not a good idea to have a lake inside the track.
-
Should be mandatory to teach your horses to swim.

as god as my witness i thought horses could swim,

Not that it was needed but further proof you are a harness racing retard.

You ever try swimming with your arms and legs tied together
-
No racetrack should have a lake in the middle. Too many horses have drowned. Happened at Pompano and other tracks. Makes no sense!!
-
Used to have hub rails, that slowed them down.
-
Now they got PETA on their back because they promised a fence after the last drowning there and another close call. Another horse died at Northfield at the beginning of the year from a after race head on collision. There wasn't even a vet around to euthanize the poor horse. With all the $ that casino makes and nothing goes toward the safety of the horses.

Figure out why the horse got loose and how that can be prevented. That is the root cause..its not the lakes fault.

What the fuck is wrong with you. You're a fucking idiot.

Horses can swim but not in full gear. Don't be stupid
