Left Bank, you are way off base here. You're right accidents happen and most times they can't be prevented. But this was nothing more than a case of pure carelessness. Theirot forced his way into a hole that wasn't there, forcing Douglass to run up the back of a tiring horse. It was a careless, selfish move that led to the death of a horse and probably an end of a career.
