ya know I have avoided commenting on this situation and of course this FB guy is one crazy bastard if he did indeed do this. reason i am commenting is it puts me in mind of something I witnessed almost 45 years ago when I was 16 and shy and very green about the game. Morning qualifiers at Foxboro. I am standing just off the racetrack where they come on and off just hanging out for a few minutes before packing up to leave. Right after the last race Dave Marshall comes riding off fuming. he starts towards the paddock leading the horse still in its equipment and sulky obviously, then suddenly stops to pick up a piece of 2x4 wood about 2 feet in length that was laying by a trash can. He spins the horse around and holding the lines in his left hand, proceeds to crack the horse with the flat of the board right smack across his forehead. he was about 6 feet away from me. I just watched in silence, mouth open too afraid to say a word. people were milling about all over the paddock inside and out. It is true he hit him once, but it was HARD. if horses see stars this one did. I swear he buckled a bit at the knees and shook his head and neck pretty violently making that sound they make with their lips. I have never scene anything like that ever again. Hated even looking at Dave Marshall's big fat face for the rest of my life. On the souls of my children, this story is 100 percent true.
I guess you are saying he didn't live to enjoy it. Sorry, if i sounded harsh towards you in my previous post
So what, did the horse get up fall again, and again to fracture its skull in multiple places? Is your skull fractured to even make the statement you did? The guy is off drives all week, and you say it isnt true? Whats he on vacation? Come on. be smarter than your statement.
