Effingham IL County Fair Very Serious Accident / Incident

[FirstUpFrom8Hole]

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.

Rest In Peace Harper. Sorry for your loss Rikki and the entire Finn family.

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 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.
