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

[toothman]

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.

[Trigger]

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.

From the track's Twitter / X page:

Scioto Downs Racing
@SciotoRacing
After the accident in the 15th race - all horses walked off the track on their own.

All drivers are alert & were transported for further examination.

Fuck that was awful.  I hope all is ok

[Brown jug]

have to agree rainman
old cheap claimers (likely most with physical issues) get cooked in 26 and 54 and the horse cutting those fractions blows up
did the driver of the lead horse think he was in the open pace
