Nasty wreck at Chester
« on: November 17, 2013, 02:39:34 PM »
There was a nasty wreck at Harrah's Chester today in race 11. Looked like Marcus Miller's horse just dropped.

Hope everyone is ok. One guy (not sure who it was) flew straight up in the air, had to be at least 15 feet.

Video is on Youtube already.

I think I will wait until I hear everyone is ok before I would want to watch that.

He is in his early 30s so he is strong.

Tough to watch and think about.

Still hoping for good news.

Thoughts and prayers are with Anthony.   That was a heckuva terrible wreck.   You could hear it in James voice as he was calling the race that this was one of the worst....and it was.   Anthony is a young man, 31, I think, and it shows just how damn dangerous it is out there.
