Horrible accident at Buffalo
« on: July 12, 2013, 08:26:40 PM »
There was a horrible accident at Buffalo in the third race tonight. No info yet on the drivers conditions, but if no one died, it is a miracle!

Just heard that Jack Flanigen has a head injury/possible concussion, and the Ray Fisher Jr. Has a neck/spine injury and is in a lot of pain.

Horses involved suffered minor injuries.

Looked a whole lot worse than it turned out to be. thumbsup

The buffalo site still has the replay up.

Have to feel bad for the guy who got ejected then run over.

Hope everyone is going to be OK.


I really sometimes think horses should only be allowed to race ages 3-10 on general principal.

That's just vicious... Hope they all recover fully. Fisher is an old friend from years ago. Really tough to watch...

Not trying to be morbid. But I don't know who is who.

I am following it and is fisher the one who got ejected in thrown in front of the horse on the inside?

Or is that someone else?

To me looked like that guy got the worst of it.

It is tough to watch.

Hope all come out ok.

No, Fisher has brown and orange colors. That must have been Flanigen.

Having been in some of those over the years, the only good thing is that it happens so fast you don't have time to think about it. You're sailing along, all hell breaks loose, and you're laying on the track.

Sure glad to hear everyone is OK.
