@kingsc59 Just spoke to him and it could have been a lot worse. Story coming soon.

Champion NZ harness horseman Mark Purdon in hospital tonight after being double-barrelled by a young horse this morning.
Was knocked unconscious and has suspected fracture to upper pelvis and hip so will be out of action for a while.
Thoughts with one of racing all-time greats.

Trainer @marshracing confirms that @ZacLloydx stays on Well Written for Golden Eagle (Oct 31) and will ride her in a trial eight days before the $10m race.
Usual blood tests taken on Monday morning came back all good.

@AFitzyRacing @dylanferguson96 @YouTube I’ll buy it now if still available at the same price? 🤦‍♂️

[Michael Guerin @GuerinSports]

If you like harness racing you could watch this show called The Box Seat, some of the stuff is quite intelligent and could make you some money.
(There is absolutely zero guarantee that last part will happen)

@dylanferguson96 @YouTube Good luck with the horse, great to see him back and it’s turned into a bloody nice crop

[Michael Guerin @GuerinSports]

@dylanferguson96 @YouTube I think, and I’m not sure, but because the show record ran over the 1-hour version on TV may not have had all the the race previews that the 1 hour 12 minute YouTube version did cause we definitely previewed the race and spoke about it. That’s the most likely reason but I’ll ask
