Pray for the horses. Very bad fire coming from the barn area
-
Heard it was Chris Long's barn. Lost 15 head from what I understand.
-
I just heard that 31 horses perished :(
-
Devastating. Has anyone confirmed whose barn this was?

Multiple people reporting Robin/Chris and Timmy Benson barn
-
I heard Long/Robyn lost everything. One of Bensons horses found outside barn, rest gone. Racing cancelled, awful day.
-
Horrible tragedy
-
Absolutely the worst.
-
🙏
-
And not a peep of sympathy from Petrelli for those horses. No vendetta I guess.

You mean if someone we all know, unlike you ngc3 doesn't come to Horseplop to post, and uses their own SM (10 times larger than the plop population ngc3), videos etc they have no sympathy?
-
I am so sorry for all people and horses involved absolutely horrible
-
When are people going to realize this isn’t a coincidence?!
This keeps happening because people are leaving shit plugged in overnight, hay next to electric, etc
Angers me horses die from people not paying attention

Horrible news ! Prayers to all involved 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

Absolute truth. These piece of shit barn areas are never inspected. Management should be held accountable, as you can't rely on the scumbag trainers to adhere to fire code safety. Because of this, poor animals pay the price.
-
There should be at all tracks all-night security with stable cameras and active smoke detectors that signal the security office when there is something suspicious.

I've seen the ledgers of several barn areas over the years. It is cheaper for these tracks to insure rather than pay man power and upgrade security measures so that these horrific things don't happen. Like I said, the horses pay the price.

Did anyone read the news or watch it on tv it says only 7 horses pasted
According to Saratoga Casino
-
A terrible tragedy that is very sad.

Agreed, Jared.
-
Maybe Saratoga will do something about the whole backside
The whole place is a disgrace
-
Very sad day
-
They won't fix it they'll knock it down. The place is a insurance nightmare.

The only thing the horsemen care about is the purse money. They compromise their own positions by starting the racing season in February instead of March and racing until the week of Christmas. They are also unwilling to fix up and maintain their own barns.
Saratoga is bad, go take a look at Monticello!

Maybe so
Saratoga harness association did lose its contract last year

What you say is a crying shame. Pure stupidity and negligence. I have been following the story and I am saddened by the death of those horses.
-
trainer i know said 17
total travesty,, horrible
only good thing it didnt spread to any other barns
one vet about to lose big time on wages owed plus further income
i cannnot image what these poor horses went thru
words just cannot express how terrible this is
-
You are correct. It was 17 total. Robin and Chris lost 11 and Tim Benson lost 6. A total shame.

Please grow up and show some class. Especially knowing you ride The Beckwith Train. Did you ask your owners that Chris drove for you and put food on your table? Engbloom? Morrsion? Pollack? FAC LLC? Hartt? Chris and Robyn are going thru a tough time and PLUS Chris drives some of their horses trained by Beckwith?
This isn't the time and place for Stupid comment about Petrelli.
P.S i wouldn't know Petreli if he sat next to me.

Pacer 2 has made Brett beckwith look like the biggest asshole on the east coast

This is not the thread to get into petty squabbles, there is a whole website to carry this on elsewhere. As for Saratoga and Monticello some of the horsemen have their barns in nice shape and upkeep them and some don't. Saratoga threw someone out this year because his barn was in disrepear.

Like everyone my heart breaks for the horses. What puzzles me is how you guys sit here and point fingers trashing horsemen. Barn fires happen unfortunately amd these two stables LOST EVERYTHING. Houses burn down and people die yet nobody sits and points blame. Its a very unfortunate accident no matter the cause. I would assume with the security at the stable gate this isn't a Tioga situation. For all we know it could of been an electrical fire. Let's remember barns are full of wood, hay, straw, sawdust/shavings all very flammable. Condolences to all involved especially the poor amazing athletes.

I am not saying who was thrown out ,everyone there knows who. Yes the backsides are in disreappear, yes some people keep their barns nice given the circumstances. Save your fake news cries for other things.

You are clueless, and when i say thrown out I mean thrown out of barn area to be clear. Have you donated yet?

I know what you meant and NO ONE has gotten thrown out of Saratoga backside
They’ll take anyone they can get
Or use what ever you want to use on race day

Prayers for these horses and people involved.

Remember when Marmarou was cooking oats in his barn..how fuckin stupid...loosing one horse is one to many. I just hope the investigation will give use the truth

Clueless, a guy with many horses got thrown out of the barn area for poor upkeep.

who really cares who got 'asked to go'. If you on 'on the track, then you already know the answer. Thats for another thread. Has anyone heard of what has caused the fire? (what this thread is about)
