Worst Harness wreck ever Scioto 15th

[PineHurstPacer]

WOW

That was ugly

I think only 1 horse didn't go down

[arniesarmy]

Six horses down. All got up and walked off on own power. Cancelled last race. Apparently there were drivers injured.

[JT]

If a driver or multiple drivers isn't seriously hurt from that I'd be surprised. They had to cancel the last race, no drivers left.

David Miller sitting right behind the horse on top that .went down and started the chain reaction

what a pileup.
hoping for the best (least bad) outcome.

Hit the settings gear on the video.  Drop it to the lowest playback speed, 0.25.

After that poor 4 horse broke and fell, banged his face on the ground had 5 other horses pile on top of him.  His driver Hanners went off the track before and didn't get piled on.

12 year old gelding.

A miracle if none of those horses are badly injured.

Drivers...hope for the best, sadly all their choices, David Miller, that's a head scratcher to be there. 

Man can follow his dreams, do as he likes, but you'd think his bucket list was empty and gets to walk away intact.  I can't think for other people, like they can't think for me or you, but if you love your family, it's something to consider.

I hope this statement gets better from here, but it actually means nothing.
