In my opinion what happened was no worse than any average night.  Breaks come on field stacks up. Its an unfortunate injury for the kid but part of racing.  BUT let's talk about the kid doing the exact same thing going into the last turn.  Again its an unfortunate part of racing.  Hopefully he heals up well and fast

To be fair, if he hurt his back as bad as it sounds at the half, then he probably had some trouble holding the horse.

 

There was an inquiry by the judges and Aaron should have come down. I was shocked they left him up.  Legitimate gripe by mom.

Aaron's horse finished last, what do you expect them to do when there is no placing needed.  The inquiry was because they checked to see if AMac caused McNeight's horse to break before the last turn.  Instead it was just NcNeight running up and causing his horse to make contact.

     Looked like the 5 ran up on the he 4 that guy seems to be ok

Is the rail in the Derby the official kiss of death?

   Its a slight disadvantage but hardly the kiss of death.
