Looks like Alex Chartrand got the worst of it....Took out an entire section of outer fencing....Hope he's ok....Chuck Connor Jr. hit the track hard.

Chartrand is at the barn on crutches. Nothing broke though ligaments are torn. Bruised up pretty good

    No sir.  That’s not how I read it.  It specifically says “ today “ it doesn’t say look when it’s posted. They should have put the date in there.  What if I sent an email and in the header it said “ meet me tonight” and then when you open the email I put “Wednesday “.  You see how confusing that is??  You’re welcome.
