Absolutely terrible. Hard to care much about handicapping at this time.

I don't understand why they did not pay out for third. Didn't the 1 get third? WTF?

Weird kind of awful deja vu there. I was just catching up on reading and saw this race (while I was half way through).
I was reading about the terrible Woodbine accident on Monday in the Toronto paper.

The 2 finishing horses in this case the 4 who won and the 3 who finished 2nd split the entire show pool. There was no 3rd horse crossing the wire with a jockey on it.

Castro’s horse broke down #5 and it started a 5 horse chain reaction. The type of scene you see in harness far more then thoroughbreds. This was UGLY / Dominquez / Napravnik among the involved.
Castro; off all mounts.

I thought the #1 horse jumped the #5 and the jockey fell off the horse AFTER the wire.

Lord in Heaven,
Poor horse that broke down. Hope the rest of the horses are unscathed. Sorry to hear Castro off to the hospital. All others in the room, doing what these guys do, stare it down, try to not look back, and go back out there and ride their asses off. Remember this everyone the next time you want to curse them out, and knock their lack of judgement, or proficiency of their rides. They are the toughest of athletes, bar none.
Hope all heal fast

True, they have guts that few of the larger athletes in "team" sports have.

Never seen a race where only two horses finish. Hope everyone is OK.
