pretty crazy allright. Veteran jockeys face death as it is. Were these real racehorses or track ponies?

That was pretty stupid. I listen to that show, and they're very pro horse racing. Harry, the host that got hurt, is the son of the man that owned Cryptoclearance, so he probably should have knows what he was getting into.

OK let's yell at the horse "STOP"...."STOP"..."STOP"..... and maybe he'll stop!.....c'mon..... Didn't they get a riding lesson first before such a ignorant stunt? I'm sure they had to be track ponies. No trainer or owner would allow that on one in training.

Glad the guy's okay! But, I've got to say, I laughed outlouad at that photo - the silks jacket that wouldn't even close was awesome. If it hadn't gone wrong, that would have been an hilarous promo.

The horse in the photo was a pony.

Had a feeling that was one of Phil's boys. Glad he will be okay.
