The horse did not appear to have been injured.
"It's a tragic accident," Farrell said. "It's very sad."

not to dismiss the tragedy but how does that story go out as happening at a racetrack in bezerkley?
if it walks like oakland and quacks like oakland, isn't it oakland? i mean...if you're not going to pretend it's not albany, why choose berkeley?
