Title: Another no contest at Scioto
Post by: arniesarmy on May 19, 2026, 09:09:42 PM
Clifton Bell and Melvin Schmucker out of their bikes in Race 10. No injuries. Every week it seems like.

100% avoidable

Clifton Bell....you can't pull your horse up when you make a break and someone is behind you idiot....have to do just the opposite

It's the exact same spot, every time.  That's a coincidence?

Exact spot!  ngc3

How many times have I said this in the last 2 weeks, 3 accidents, 2 times at least.

This track should be renamed....Parano rmal Downs  ngc3

That driver too, nuts, how dumb and dangerous those actions were to not forwardly remove the horse from the track...instead of that insanity!

It's actually bumper cars before demolition derby!

Inferior horses going for very good purse money?

Quality drivers here compared to other tracks?

Ok so I watched the race   Didn’t look that bad horse broke wheels hooked with another driver and fell off. But why cancel the last 5 races???? And will they make rule that these asshole drivers move their handholds up so they can hold their horses. Most of  these accidents can be prevented if the drivers had control of their horses !!!!

The reason for the cancellation after the accident, was mutually exclusive.

Lightening wouldn't stop.

Trigger is correct
Storms were horrible last night, I lost power
Accidents all on backstretch just different spots
Rainman2, the 2 involved last night not normally part of the Scioto colony
Clifton Bell, county fair driver primarily
Schmucker mostly trains, doesn't drive much
