Bad one at the Ocean...

[Trigger]

I cannot believe that he still calls races.. I didnt recognize his voice right away. Trigger is probably right, he was staring through his binoculars. I cannot blame him for the silence afterwards.. I mean what is he supposed to say. Im sure some of us old timers have seen accidents live and horses put down on the track bringing out the curtain. It is not a pleasant sight to see.

Fair point.

After the binoculars went down, he has a duty for all the drivers on the track to let them know of the accident, possibly loose horses?, I'm not sure if that was the case because the emphasis was on the finish line so we couldn't see so maybe not.  But just under 4 minutes he did put out an update.

he was calling Fort Erie a couple of years ago and supposedly retired

probably likes crabs and beer

Gotcha.. I never watch Fort Erie.. except I watched that stiff job by Kirk Johnson a few weeks ago

Just heard from Russell. 

“Just sore ankle for me.  Ricky and Trae got the worst of it. Ricky knocked out but regained consciousness.
All horses walked off ok”.

Thanks for the update. Good news about Ricky. I thought he might have broke his neck

Mel Torme was the Velvet Fog

You re correct, thank you

Thanks for the update.  Looked bad for Ricky.  Landed on his head and wasn't moving.  Hopefully both will be okay and not have serious injuries.

That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about a driver

I don't like to see anyone get hurt.  I posted on X last night ..giving a shout out to Lauren Tritton for her very good drives at Meadowlands.  I do have good things to say about drivers but unfortunately these guys and girls do not make it easy to do often.  So much bullshit in this sport it's sickening at times.   I never like to see anyone or a horse get injured so hopefully everyone and horses are okay.
