For what it's worth, Oaklawn did the right thing and split the purse equally among all entrants. They told me they had found 6 incidents like this in the past, two tracks split the purses and four hadn't.

good for you and chuck! splitting was the right thing to do, no matter who was involved.

Had a similar thing happen to me at Finger Lakes. A horse reared in the gate and somehow they sprung the latch, it looked like a demolition derby, but my filly and 2 others basically ran around the track into the stretch. FL didn't distribute the purse and my filly was never the same. There's no question the race should have been declared a non race, but a little something from the purse would have been nice. Sounds like Oaklawn did the right thing.

What was up with the 9 horse? Was she hell bent on making a late run,or what? The 2 and the 3 have to be feeling that contact this morning.Also,they say Chris Emigh rode the 3 horse? He isn't riding at the Hawthorne Impound Center?

The only horse that had a shot was the 11 on the rail. Borel just got into Richwood and she was just starting to get rolling. Was going to be hard to catch. While it was a quick first fraction, I thought he rode a perfect race

LOL..WHAT DO THOSE 2 POSTS HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?...LOL...I am talking about some sideshow 3-way collision towards the back of the field.See the 9 shake her head after the collision she caused? Like she is furious she was pulled up.The 3 looks like she got her bell rung,and is seeing stars.The 2 is ready to see her maker.She is like "what next? you gun slap me around some more? " I ain't saying anybody would beat Richwood.Sometimes I think you don't sleep,or you get slipped some bad Chicago Speed.
