Northville Downs, race bike breaks during race, May 13, Race 11.

I believe no drivers or horses were hurt, thank goodness.

Scary for sure… glad it looks like everyone was ok.

It does happen - could be metal fatigue, a bad weld, or, like any other piece of equipment, a flaw that doesn’t show in the factory.

ouch. good thing it happened so late in the race; if everyone had been bunched up it could have been a pileup.
