A multiple-horse accident in the Thursday evening opener at Woodbine Mohawk Park resulted in driver James MacDonald being taken to local hospital.
MacDonald and fellow reinsman Doug McNair were unseated from their racebikes after race leading Dont Dilly Dally made a sudden break on the way to the three-quarter pole. McNair’s charge Just Plain Needy collided into the back of the breaking horse and then fell while MacDonald’s charge Red Dirt Fulofhart caught the racebike wheel of the fallen horse before running loose and then being apprehended.
Both horses walked off the track and both drivers got to their feet quickly, but driver James MacDonald wound up being taken to nearby hospital. No updates were available on his condition.
