Tony Hall, Sam Widger and Jeremy Smith all going to the Hospital. 
Which driver got thrown way up in the air? I don't really want to watch it again.

9 yo GD Western Joe fell-  Horse has made 835K life.

in 2023 only 6 starts and that was off a 4 month layoff-  made 10K

this was his second parimutual in 2024 after last racing June 2023. 

Also was in first time ever in a claimer (excluding one start in a 100K claimer years back).

He did not FALL.  He broke his leg or legs and then fell. if you break your legs and then fall down the stairs you did not fall you broke your leg dipshit

Just awful. I watched it and wish I hadn't.

Hope everyone is ok, but doubting that.

it's interesting you can call me a dipshit for saying he fell and have no comment on racing a horse that likely had prior soundness issues.  But if that makes you feel good have at it.

J Smith got tossed good distance, appeared everyone avoided him after that

Widger got tossed short distance

I just read all horses walked off the track. So guess the Burke horse didn’t break down (or at least didn’t snap a leg).

Found these updates on Facebook.

Tony Hall has suffered multiple breaks in his hip socket and will be sidelined until sometime this fall after having surgery coming this week.

Sam Widger surgery tomorrow on wrist.

Jeremy Smith nothing broken, very sore.

A lot accidents lately. Keep giving these crippled horses drugs so they can’t feel the pain and down they go. Watched Burke’s horses for years now. Can’t walk but they go in 49 and eventually this is the result

While I agree with your general sentiment, this horse didn't appear to fall due to injury/lameness.

There is no way to know but the horse missed a full year and was dropped in for a tag second start back for 20.  if he dropped a hobble then that wasn't the issue.

   Tony Hall is a wreck magnet. Not saying it's his fault but damn seems like he is in them and always gets the worst of it.

anyone heard from GD Western Joe? He "walked off the track". I'm sure he's fine.
