But what's getting lost in it, are the jock and horse ok? By the way, I'm listening to Henry Rollins right now. " 'CAUSE 'IM A LIAR!!!!!!"

But what's getting lost in it, are the jock and horse ok? I have no source other than the replay, but it looked to me like the jockey did more of a dismount than being badly thrown. It also looked like the horse brushed the rail and likely was OK. But again, those observations are just from seeing the replay at the beginning of the race. |

![]() I know this will disappoint the alarmists who don't bother with facts, but fatalities are down on the new surface at GGF and it seems to have been well received by the horseman.
