Multiple accidents make for a dark day

Sunday was a tough day at Calder as three horses had to be humanely destroyed and two riders were taken to the hospital with severe injuries.

Jockeys Chris DeCarlo and Roimes Chirinos both suffered fractured collarbones in a spill that began when Wild Blonde, with DeCarlo aboard, went down suddenly approaching the three-eighths pole on the turf course during the seventh race. Both Talented Princess and Chirinos - along with The Real Future and Pedro Monterrey Jr. - fell when unable to avoid the stricken Wild Blonde although Monterrey Jr. escaped without injury.

Wild Blonde was euthanized on the track, while Talented Princess and The Real Future ran off and appeared none the worse for wear following the incident.

Tragedy struck again before and during the running of Sunday's feature, the $35,000 Stormy Frolic Stakes. Post Invader, who was scheduled to make her first start since February, had to be euthanized after flipping in the paddock. Several minutes later, Dantrelle Light broke down while in front in the race and seemingly on the way to victory in deep stretch.

Suaveness took advantage of Dantrelle Light's misfortune, rallying to victory over Casa Mimaty in the Stormy Frolic.

Personal Bid died of a heart attack in foal to Broken Vow in mid November.

In the early 1990s, Richard Schosberg trained Personal Bid, a New York-bred filly with whom he won several stakes and $165,298.

Ironically, Sunday, December 2, Light Tactic trained by Richard Schosberg pulled away to a 3½-length victory over Brown Eyed Belle on Sunday in the $78,000 Personal Bid Stakes for New York bred 3-year-old fillies at Aqueduct.
