Noble must've called someone after he or someone he knows read this.

Simple, horse first up is steered right into horse outside him. I've been getting demands on my Facebook group to take it down the video from his pals. So I did, and replaced it with a YouTube link.

  Ohio pot dispensaries open on Tues. Next day Dan Noble created a pile up. Hmmnmm

[Bitter Truth]

Thx GCM Was curious to see it. Not pretty. Don't think Noble needed a dispensary.

  Does anyone know if the horses were ok?

I think there's some truth to the fact the lower class horses are pushed to their limits to compete and make money. Drivers are more aggressive and one misstep can cause a chain reaction. This won't be the last unfortunately.

This wasn't a bad step.  Noble drove into the path of another horse causing it to go down and take 2 others with it.  Noble had zero control of his horse!  He should get a lengthy vacation!

[Inside The Track]

Watch the replay, the horse is moving his head right to left multiple times, it's obvious the horse is exhausted. The horse should have been pulled up. Terrible driver error.

[Brown jug]

you mean they are not race cars
even high performance race cars implode when rpm are pushed over the limit
 to expect livestock to just continue on as if they had not been abused during the race seems illogical

When are we going to start puting blame on the trainers? They are the ones putting these unfit horses on the track. These drivers assume the horses are safe when they get behind them. The trainers are the ones injecting and blocking over and over with no concern for the horse or driver. The trainers lie to their owners, drivers and public and get away with it. Start putting the blame where it belongs. Then there is the commission for not doing enough to penalize and make this sport safe for the horse. There would be no business without the horse yet the trainers just keep poking them with more and more crap to gain more speed, and we are seeing the results. Hurt, innocent horses and drivers.  How cruel!!!

Any driver with half a brain knows when his horse is done. At that point you stop pushing and try to stay out of the way.

I personally think one handing both lines and slashing with the other should be a 7 day sit down. For first offense and go up from there.

This was Noble not having control of his horse.  I agree we can blame trainers or whoever in some cases.  But not in this case.  There is no one else to blame here other than Noble.  Horse was done and he had zero control over him.  He drifted out and caused that accident.  Lines were flapping in the breeze.  Even the judges no it was his fault.  He was Dq'd from 4th.

[In It Deep]

Any updates on Chris Page?

Loose lines, horse all done, got nothing left. He's still rockin. This idiot didn't know he was done. He needs to go race cars, he sure isn't his father.
