Dave Wall, one of the most popular and respected horsemen in Ontario, is being operated on today at Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario, after fracturing an ankle in an accident at Western Fair Raceway

in Friday night’s first race.

Wall was the most severely injured of the four drivers involved in the spill which saw Wall’s charge, Strident Hanover, stumble on the last turn causing a chain reaction that collected My Buddy Gary (Robert Sparling, Jr.), Devilwithabackpack (Trevor Henry) and The Gormanizor (Greg Campbell).

Sparling suffered a severely sprained ankle as well as several nasty facial lacerations; Henry came away with a broken finger while Campbell has a broken bone in his foot.
