Fraser Drivers Bounce Back After Spill

Published: December 21, 2014 07:46 pm EST

Serious injuries were avoided in an accident that took place during the sixth race at Fraser Downs on Sunday.

Wild About Eagle (Travis Bowman) broke stride while racing in sixth place around the first turn and fell near the head of the stretch, causing interference to the trailing horses, including Judges Acenthehole (Jim Marino), Wishful Luck (David McKellar) and Kim Chee (Brandon Campbell).

Bowman and Campbell were unseated during the incident, but returned to action and fulfilled their driving duties later on the card. Early reports from Fraser Downs indicate the drivers and horses involved in the accident suffered only superficial injuries.

Live harness racing resumes on Friday, December 26, with first race post time for the afternoon Boxing Day card at 12:45 p.m.
