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.

The exercise rider according to the story felt the horse brush by his boot

You get an idea from those pictures not only how close she came to IHA but how fast she was going when she did it. After what happened to Tin Cup Chalice, I can't help but have a twinge looking at these images.

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...
