Geesh, it looks like Vaz deliberately grabbed rein and took Devine Light out to try and take out Santos (he appears to run Devine Light right into him, purposely), and when that didn't work, he started punching him.

Did anything happen before that? I can't believe they let these guys ride the rest of the day.


Thanks for the replay post.

Unbelieveable. The sport can barely get any positive coverage for the Rachael's Woodward win or even the Breeders cup. But I'm sure that this $7500 dollar claiming race will national news for the next few days.

I am surprised Philly Park didn't call ESPN and ask to be announced as "Philly Park and Casino"

I strongly disagree. Just more negative attention to the sport.

Honestly this is as close to mainstream as racing gets. America loves violence.

This is from a Philly paper.

Philly Park jockeys in brawl during race

Two jockeys at Philadelphia Park got into a fistfight yesterday, which wouldn't be big news - except the jockeys were riding in the fifth race when the brawl broke out.
