I lost a 2 year old niece in feb after she choked to death on a lithium battery. Its devastating. What the Finn family is going through right now is horrific and my heart breaks for them.

Sorry for your loss. I was reminded that the grandmother was the woman who worked the winner's circle at Balmoral and Hawthorne by 1 of my partners who lives in Chicago. Praying for the family.
I'm not Hush; we live in different states. Therefore, anyone saying so I wager $1,000 I'm not him. Any takers please set up escrow account for wager. You'll lose!

I don't know why, but this death hits me HARD.  I have only raced in Illinois a very few times, and that was a long time ago.  But the Finn name is well known, and somehow this just hits so close to home.
Hug your kids and grandkids.  One never knows.

Good advise. I think it hits us all in many different ways. Maybe more so when its such a young life and the accident was most likely avoidable.  Very heart breaking.

So sad that I still can’t understand how in the heck something like this can happen.

Same, I keep seeing conflicting info. Regardless this is a second tragedy for fair horsemen after what happened to the Winters boy.
