THIS RACE IS UNAVAILABLE

big letters on Batavia HPIbet Canada replays section (8th and 10th replays no problem on a beautiful night)

If it's not 'tech glitch' it's

1) potential lawsuit
Or more likely
2) track policy because PETA knows where to find their next 'ad ammo'

Hopefully horsemen recover quickly. And as always, same for equine set

Watching video what was Morill thinking driving horse into a spot he should never had gone and what was McNneight doing not even paying attention. Drivers were completely at fault.

Jimmy McNeight Jr, is in the Hospital still. Concussion, lot of lacerations as he landed on his face (from what I was told)

Speedy Recovery Jimmy

Jimmy is waiting for ortho test results back. Hopefully the extent of the injury/injuries is nothing serious that will require major time off, recovery, etc.

Hope everyone----horses and humans-----are OK.
