What a great old horse. A mudder, sure, but a great one.

There's a nasty two-horse spill in this race. Both horses (Who Knows and Irish Colleen) were OK, and Sam Collett kept riding for the rest of the day. Leith Innes was taken for X-rays on his elbow, so it doesn't sound too bad for him either.

But the accident caused a ton of interference to some of the other good runners in the race. You can forget some of them (Vonusti, Lion Tamer, St Germaine) even ran.

We know nothing more about the Mudgway at this stage. It will most likely be a dry track, so all of these horses will perform differently. Then you've got Katie Lee, Keep The Peace, Mufhasa and others going straight to that race without a prep run.
