The Vile Steeplechase: Falling Horses

There were two steeplechases held Saturday, Oct 14. At Genesee, in rainy NY, this in just three races (involving only 14 horses):

“Quality Choice fell at the 7th.”

“Lost Story fell at the 15th.”

“Renegade River fell at the 8th.”

“Rakhaa fell at the 11th.”

At Middleburg in Virginia, this in just six races:

“Seattle Seahawk was pulled up lame and vanned off the course.”

“Arrowheart fell mid race.”

“Laker Mamba fell on the final circuit.”

The stewards, in their official “reports,” completely stonewalled, refusing updates on any of the fallers. But it doesn’t take too much of an imagination…
