My trainer had 1 of the ones that fell in the race. He said Palone’s horse jumped a shadow.
That was easy to see. Unfortunately when the horse jumped and went on a break Palone couldn’t get it too the inside fast enough. Driving horses is a dangerous occupation so please remember that when yall get crying about drivers making too much money. I’ve known Hunter since he was first really getting going great kid. Still sickens me that I’ll never see him again. But all this knee jerk reaction of wanting to all the sudden change the rules is ridiculous. And for the comment about drivers being scared to go back out there. They need a different profession if so. You can’t drive scared or you will cause more accidents. It was a very unfortunate accident and sadly they happen. I don’t stop driving my car every day when someone dies in an accident,do you??
