His overzealousness took two other riders down with him and led to the death of his mount. How is pointing that obvious fact out wrong in your eyes. For someone who supposedly has a background working with racehorses and around the racetrack you are curiously in denial of the irrefutable facts.

No.. I live in the real world where dispite our best efforts... **** HAPPENS! Have you ever had a horse break down on you?? I have... both with issues and without!! This was not the kids fault.... and to lay the fact that the horse broke both front legs on him is just not right.

But it is true, and until you actually watch the race, and get someone who actually knows what they are looking at to watch it with you, try and limit your emotion laced defense of this incident to the facts.

Juice,

Ive watched the race 200 times, its not the kids fault. Very rarely is it the jocks fault when a horse goes down unless they run up heels. This isnt one of those instances. The kid just rode the horse like any even money.

Im just glad hes okay, as Im sure we all are
