That sucks. RIP City On Line

I wish horses would figure out how to not run straight into things.

That's terrible hardly seems to cover it. Poor horse. What an awful thing for the folks around the paddock to have to see.

Poor thing must have been terrified. I approach every day at the track with so much concern anymore. You just never know what can happen. RIP City On Line

Terrible, bizarre, and tragic ...

A really awful event, and hearbreakiing public disaster ...

I was at Belmont when a horse reared in the saddling enclosure and fell dead with a fractured skull--horrible enough, but not like this ...

I feel for anyone involved with the horse, and all that saw this nightmare ...

What a horrible event. I'm glad I didn't see it. I was betting that horse online when it happened and a moment later Durkin announced the scratch. I was only partically paying attention to the TV so I had no idea he had gotten loose, I guess I just figured he was a vet scratch.

That's very sad for all involved and certainly frightening for any who saw it happen.
