Trot Insider has learned that driver David Pilon will be sidelined indefinitely as a result of the accident that took place on Sunday (June 6) at Hippodrome 3R.
In Sunday's fourth race, Bellafornow broke stride while sitting in fourth for driver Francis Picard and fell to the track, causing a chain reaction as the rest of the field ran into the accident.
All horses involved in the accident walked off the track on their own power, but two drivers, Marie Claude Auger and David Pilon, were taken to hospital. It was reported that Auger had a possible concussion, but she's back in action this weekend with a full slate of drives at 3R.
Pilon had surgery this week to repair a broken tibia and fibula, and as a result will not be able to drive for some time. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by his friend and colleague Francis Richard.
Please join Standardbred Canada in wishing David a full and quick recovery.
