Empire Maker crushes the 2003 Florida Derby field. Very sad to see the breakdown of Midway Cat.

Poor Midway Cat. That was a nasty spill, bless him.

i'm also glad you left the breakdown in. it always makes me really angry when they've been edited out. it's like they're trying to pretend that it didn't happen, and that's not fair to the horse that broke down.

@TZEITEL10 It means that they hurt themselves in some way. Like, for example, when a horse breaks his leg and has to be pulled up or collapses... Or even maybe a bowed tendon. Sorry, that was a bad job of explaining. Basically, the horse hurts himself. Or herself lol.

Thanks for that. It's hard to watch, but you're right, it seems wrong to take it out.

Pardon my stupidity; I don't follow the Florida circuit. I suppose Midway Cat did die?

Yes, sadly, Midway Cat did not survive his injuries.

sorry to correct you cf1970, but in an interview hockey Jorge Chavez said he broke his back in the spill.

No apology necessary. I was going by what I read on the aboutDOTcom site (youtube doesn't allow actual web addresses in comments here). Where did you see/hear that interview?
Thanks for the information.

Ugh. Breakdowns are so uncomfortable and squemish to witness, but I think they should be shown. This IS a part of racing after all, and always makes me appreciate these animals more and more.

I was hesitant to keep the breakdown in there, but I felt that it would have been unfair to Midway Cat's memory to just delete him. He was handled humanely after his fall and I'm very thankful for that. His jockey Jorge Chavez was, amazingly, relatively unhurt. Thanks for your comments. Take care.
