Mckee definitely made a bad decision when he decided to go to the inside, but he didn't run the horse into the rail. When Westwon slipped beside the horse, the horse came over into Westwon, and caused Westwon to hit the rail. The horse didn't almost fall either. Of course, you always do run the risk of a horse getting injured when they do anything like Westwon did. Westwon wouldn't have been anywhere close to winning this race regardless of the ride, and I like this horse. I fear that he just isn't as good as I originally thought him to be.
If you want to see a brutal trip in a race that a horse should and would have won, go watch Chocolate Lava's last race.
