2009 Harness Racing Accident- Rabbit Causes Northlands Park Spill

A rabbit trio causes a spill in the final race at Northlands Park on December 9, 2009. It looked like the driver stepped off the sulky, but she was taken to the hospital complaining of shoulder pain.

Could the announcer have been any less concerned for the drivers and horses that fell??? Not only did he chuckle after the rabbits ran on the track, he barely mentioned the accident, and with very little emotion.

I agree- this guy is truly not a great announcer

The horse and driver could truly have been injured, and he barely mentioned it

horse just bolted..no fault of the driver

[hotilyer]

@Presguy you know nothing

@canadian4sure You are not too with it... the track callers know to not panic if he did as you want then more problems could occur. He is from P.E.I. were many mant fantatic callers come from. To call Northlands down to call anything down is how idiots exist. The track crew had it taken care of quickly but panic is all that people like you know....

It was the last race of the night, Sugar stayed calm, the drivers and the backstretch workers can all hear his announcing It would do no good at all for him to get excited and start screaming causing mass panic in the backstretch. The announcer is a truly amazing announcer and he is truly gifted when announcing a race.

The track announcer sounds so uninterested throughout the entire race. He must not like his job.
