The race caller says he is “not sure who that is… the horse is down…”
Wow, calling the races must not be this guy’s forte, unless he was paid to “not be sure” of the name of the horse that went down in the mud…?
Was there SLOP at that track last night and a slip happened???
Always hated riding horses on sloppy tracks! At our old mile track in Oregon we always seemed to have the most breakdowns and injuries under those conditions. We have galloped several horses in the mornings that broke down. Glad to see that old track redeveloped.
As far as I know, there is no racetrack that operates as a “replacement” track for Portland Meadows. I’ve always thought of Emerald Downs in Auburn as a replacement track for Longacres Racetrack in Renton, Washington.
The horsemen are trying to make grants pass the replacement track. It’s only ½ mile. We hope that they do not succeed! Otherwise Oregon only has county fair meets all on half mile tracks.
Another victim of the 2 year old under tack sales. What a brutal and inhumane way to start young horses! Sadly, the horses always pay for this!
