Default Hawthorne - What a coincidence!
Talk about dusting yourself off and getting back up again!

Timothy Thornton was shut off while trying to come up the rail in Race 6 at Hawthorne today. It sure looks like Diego Sanchez will receive some days for the incident which could have been tragic. Thornton and horse were OK. Take a look:

Just three races later in Race 9, it almost looks like an identical set up with Sanchez's mount #6 leading while Thornton's mount #1A trying to come up the rail. It seems like Thornton initially wanted to go to the outside of Sanchez's mount, but was forced to stay inside by the #4 horse. This time Sanchez made the right choice and Thornton was succesfull. Thornton sure has a set of cojones.

Diego Sanchez should absolutely get some days for that crap in the 6th. He almost sent horse and rider over the rail multiple times and Thornton did a great job to avoid injury.

He was still hitting him right handed as he was pin balling him off the rail. That won't help his case in front of the Stewards.

Watching the head-on, after he takes out Thornton whipping right-handed, he then switches to the left hand, and drifts out and interferes with another horse. Great ride

It was bad enough just viewing the pan shot....the head-on was flat out scary.

Hope Sanchez enjoys his vacation; he's gonna get one.

I was impressed with the outrider, paying total attention - he saw it coming, as Tim came off he was already in motion after the horse.
