The accused murderer has hired top defense lawyer Alan Jackon. As smart and as savvy as they come. It's California. So he'll get 7 years in a mental health facility and probably get supervised release.

I was there that night too, and I remember that race well.  It was the NYSS final for 3 yo colts.
The horse on the lead turning for home was named Fulla Potholes, driven by Mike Kimelman.  The horse stuck his toes in at the top of the stretch, and most of the field piled over him. 

Two horses escaped the pile up and were able to finish the race.  Black Gold Road, driven by DR Ackerman, crossed the line first, but was on a break.  The #8 horse, Gloucester Court (Jim Morrill Jr.), who had been was parked the mile and faded badly, was so far back that he was able to circle around the pile and crossed the line a half-length back of Ackerman.  He was placed first because Ackerman's horse was on a break.

I have not been able to find any press on this race, much less a video.

OMG, you're amazing, appreciation and gratitude, thank you very much!

Mike Kimelman!

I guess I put it on the dude Kauffman because that's my shoddy memory, only person's last name, driving at Yonkers starting with "K" that I could remember from 30 years.

I apologize too, because I brought it up as it was a surreal night, but until we fill in the blanks it kind of haunts the mind.

Long shots going first over dying don't usually win, let's just say if there was live wagering just before the accident, he'd be a trillion - 1  ngc3

Thanks to you we're down to the date, race and a real hail Mary would be the vid!
ohracing mentioned Ackerman, kudos!

I'm very grateful and happy though (still crazy but not a liar  ngc3)!  ;D

bottom line is the POTUS should not be commenting on the deaths/murders of the Reiners or anyone else  for that matter
end of story
I agree with you. Like I said, his mouth is his biggest problem. He just can't stop him self. This country has many issues that needs addressing. Even some bipartisan ones. He should work on that instead.

Harness Racing / A driver's objection upheld at Northfield

Never seen this. Merriman files a driver's objection against the eventual winner and the judges took Marc St. Louis down after a five-minute inquiry in Race 7. Wonder what St. Louis did to piss Merriman off. I can't remember a driver's objection being filed before.

The people that try to justify the games certain breeders play at the sales, are the same people that justify trainers that win at outrageously high rates. Why not give everyone an electronic device before the horse goes into the sales ring that has an interest, you press your device and if you see your corresponding number on the board, then you're the highest bidder. Sounds simple because it is but they will never do it because that way they couldn't fleece the millionaires.
