Triple Crown Almost Lost Without Even Racing

I don't know, I've seen the video, and it wasn't that close.

Where did you see video? I haven't been able to find one.

But according to this, I'm thinking that maybe you saw the wrong video.

A riderless Isleta, a maiden 3-year-old filly bred and co-owned by the Steinbrenner family's Kinsman Stable, came roaring up alongside I'll Have Another, who was being ponied by Lava Man midway on the clubhouse turn. O'Neill said Isleta grazed exercise rider Jonny Garcia's boot, but did not come in contact with I'll Have Another.

There's no video as far as I know, only a photo by Barbara Livingston that looks pretty close.

Did I not see a video? Maybe it was the Livingston photo. Either way, horses get loose all the time.

Racing lost Tin Cup Chalice, only "NY Triple Crown" winner at FL one morning a couple of years ago due to a bolting horse Zany, who also died, colliding. Hope IHA stays in luck.

How NYRA was not proactive in having the Belmont horses train seperately from the pack of all condtion levels is puzzling..almost as puzzling as the detention barn policy implementated for Wednesday that resulted in Belmont horses being shuffled from barn to barn... maybe with practice there is hope...maybe...
