It was bad. Bailey hit the track really hard. Fluet looked like he got bounced around really hard too. Hope they are both alright.

Which driver got launched like Superman and then landed on his head ---- damnnnnnn

Meanwhile -- horse loose on infield --- Out rider riding near track to corral - horses pulling up

Horsemen obviously concern running onto the track while the horses are going by....

Official - pay the race off.

Bailey got launched. His horse looked like it wasn't moving.

Does Leon have means? Does the family need money?
