Bad karma for the sheik - you cannot bomb a state, and then expect to come back in a win millions of dollars. You just can't.
Horse dies in Belmont Park spill
Horse racing-Horse dies in Belmont Park spill
BELMONT, N.Y., June 8 (Reuters) - A bad accident in a minor race in the Belmont Park card leading up to War Emblem's attempt on the Triple Crown killed one horse, badly injured another and shocked a big Belmont Park crowd on Saturday.
Imadeed was challenging for the lead in the fourth race, a contest for fillies and mares, with Pleasant County running just behind when Imadeed stumbled and fell, sending Pleasant County crashing to the ground in full view of a packed grandstand.
Pleasant County died on the track of a fractured skull, while Imadeed was taken from the track with a fractured right leg. Neither jockey was seriously hurt. Imadeed pilot John Velazquez was riding in his first race since a spill on Friday. < snip >
