Anyone see, Clouds of cognac and carolomba, anyone know what happened to the horses. One seemed to struggle to get up.

There was a bad fall in England today. A photographer stuck his camera through a picket fence on the rail and it frightened one of the lead horses and brought down half the field.
All horses were ok, jockeys were injured but nothing too bad.

Both horses got up - one kept galloping riderless around the track and was caught by the clerk of course and the other who went through the fence was caught by the clerk of course doing a reverse lap of the unlit trotting track. Both looked to be OK probably a few scratches, hopefully nothing worse than that.

Jockeys not so lucky - one broken collarbone and one broken leg apparently.
