The remainder of tonight's card @SciotoRacing was canceled after race nine due to a three-horse accident involving Just Kidding Katie (Chris Page), Manholmes (Jeremy Smith) and Admiral Adam (Luke Hanners).

@That1BarryGuy reported that the three horses involved got up and walked off the track but the three drivers are all being taken to the hospital.

Thank you for the update, I wondered if all were okay

Been too many accidents lately

[HarnessFan1981]

Per track announcer Barry Vicroy

Jeremy has facial injuries and concussion.

Luke has broken wrist, broken in two places & Will require surgery.

Am told they are currently keeping Chris immobilized pending test results as he was complaining of neck and back issues.

All horses involved walked away.

     seems like there were hardlly any accidents the last couple of years, but the last 2 months there have been 6 or 7 bad ones

 I know it's a risk on sport especially how hard and fast they push these animals.

Is there a correlation between the number of accidents in relationship to the class of horses at each track (do 'cheaper' horses have a tendency to break down more--speed kills)?  In this case it was nw3750/L4. This is the 2nd lowest conditioned class at Scioto.

[Inside The Track]

Its a combination of both- asking bad horses to go speeds they shouldn't. Throw in the drug abuses on these animals and you have your answer.

You know what kills big pharma. All these drugged up horses and asshole drivers winging it when their horse is done. The horse driven by noble was parked 1:22 three quarters. Your done. Grab lines and finish 7 th.  No let’s hold the lines in one hand and slash away.  A horse will not go faster than 1:52 without drugs in their system and a trotter 1:54 without drugs in their system. So do the math. How many druggies are there. Claim a horse going in 1:49 off druggy. See him go 1:55. Why. Why. DRUGS !!!!!

All these accidents are the result of drivers!  Yes these horses are drugged and being pushed but a good driver knows the limits and these cowboys in Ohio just push too far.  They have no clue when to stop.

don't know how to insert image here but I have some good ones of Danny Noble wiping out Page and causing the accident

Yes, watching the replay it appears Noble's horse went directly under Page.

Jeremy has had a rough year as far as accidents. He's made some money but what good is it if you're all crippled up. Is it worth it? I ask myself that every day when I unhook the lines in the paddock. Yet there I am.  Heading back out to the track. My wife at home waiting on the phone call. Either from me saying I'm on my way home or from someone at the track saying there's been an accident. She knew what she was marrying in to. But it doesn't make it any easier

Sure looked like Noble caused that entire chain of events!  He should have some fines and a suspension on it's way!

And just that fast the replay for race 9 is unavailable on their site and Xpressbet.
