Not the worst breakdown I've ever seen - that's tied between the San Luis Obispo on President's Day, 1973, when Tuqui and Autobiography both broke down, independently, and the 1982 Marlboro Cup, when Timely Writer went down and took out half the field.

worst i've seen are during those steeplechase races at the Spa. First race of the season a couple years ago, I dont remember exactly but I think 9 started and 2 or 3 finished. Amazingly I think all (or almost all) of the horses were ok, but they were all just laying there.
