Autopsies should be done on all horses that die in a race.  If that ever happened, there would be some nervous trainers!

Mandatory autopsies  are done on every horse that dies in a race I believe already.

Jerry Silverman was a very successful traIner and his son, Richie Silverman drove and subsequently trained horses.  Richie would have been active in the 90's.

Approximately how much of the that track's handle is CAW?

They confirmed today at the symposium  that therr is zero independent oversite of any US tote system.

Translation: tracks can and will do whatever they want and we have absolutely no idea what's going on with the caws.

Race#10-#5 BRONX DRIFTER 3-1 ML Faded late last week after being parked past the quarter, hitting the half in 55:1. Should be tight tonight after being off almost a month, trucking from the Maritimes. I’d expect a better effort tonight.

Race#11-#7 CARSONBUCKNGO 4-1 ML Took back from the rail last week, expect different tactics tonight in the finale. There’s a chance #5 runs off the screen but he will be offered up below even money. See if McNair can map out a trip tonight.

Best of luck!  tmbz1

One down one to go!

My 3,4,7,9 was only super worthy to Whip's mastery!

I believe this was NYSS finals and maybe D.R. Ackerman was one of the 2 horses that finished

Could be entirely possible.  There is something about that driver's name that connects with that long shot possibly.  NYSS makes sense too.  I think you're close!

I'm spinning about a race in the 1990's should be a big deal being it went down and finished pretty much like I said and a big race...my adw the vids go back 9/3/14, on Roberts Comm March 2007 on Yonkers...though here is an accident at Yonkers in 1956  ngc3 and I ain't laughing about the accident but 75 years ago I find a vid from!

I don't even remember the answers and I was there...

In the early 90's (90-94?) it was a baby stakes night at Yonkers.  Many $200k races.  Now this part is where my memory might be faulty...

Ian Kauffmann is on the lead going around the final turn and his horse goes down.  There is a pile up.  2 horses from the back win and place.  There is no 3rd place finisher.  The horse that wins breaks across the wire and the 2nd place horse lapped on and gets put up at @90-1.  Interestingly the 2nd place horse declared the winner went first over and actually died bad, was way way back. 

I believe Prince Ebony won the Open Handicap that night too.

I hit the p4 that night, and that race was the second leg of the p4.  Paid $9k.  I had to come back Monday to cash (no ss dl on me).  That's all I remember.

Does anyone remember that race and can fill it in accurately, get a video?

I believe this was NYSS finals and maybe D.R. Ackerman was one of the 2 horses that finished

If there is a big insurance claim I'd imagine they would demand or be entitled to one if they are liable to pay, but you horseman and owners know that better than me.
