A terrible head on collision this morning at Belmont Park, took the lives of both Caixa Eletronica and Six Drivers. Caixa Eletronica, http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Result ... registry=T was an east coast favorite who ran in stakes in his last two starts of 2013 as an 8YO, he will be missed. TJ

What a terrible shame, to lose such a classy war horse in such a horrific accident. Hopefully it ended quickly for both horses. Sounds like both riders will be ok, after the surgery and rehab.
This is just so sad.

What great loss!
Caixa Eletronica was the best entire representative of Arromanches.
This cross deserves a repetition as well as Arromanches deserves better breeding opportunities.

Did not see/hear this news of the deadly collision between Caixa Electronica and Six Drivers until this morning's paper in Houston. I always enjoyed watching and cheering on Caixa Electronica, a very game race horse who seemed to fairly regularly rise to the occaision and give it his best effort, (making it hard to leave him out at the window :wink:

)

Very sad to even imagine ["visualize'] such an horrific event. A huge loss to all connections -my condolences to owners, breeders/fans and best wishes for the jockeys' recovery. (And to Jorge if in truth Arromanches is dead

!)

I was shocked and saddened by this news. A hard knocking horse who certainly deserved a better fate.

And unfortunately, it does seem that Arromanches did pass away last August. (http://www.drf.com/news/indiana-sire-ar ... ies-age-20)
