I know this will sound melodramatic, but besides the obvious concerns for the jock and the horse, the most painful thing about these incidents is watching the children. This weekend Arlington had probably 15,000 each day, the majority families in the "Park" area...I wasn't there Saturday for Douglas' fall, but today after Inez went down in front of EVERYONE, there were children crying everywhere and families packing up quickly to head out. There is no way to avoid breakdowns, but to ask any family who was at the races for the first time today to come back again is asking a lot.
