If a horse falls on the track and they don’t show the replay, did it really happen?

What you didn’t see was any replay of the accident that marred the finish of the eighth race. Abuckabett Hanover, Tattoo Artist and Linedrive Hanover finished 1-2-3, respectively.

Why no replay?

It appears — and this is not a Canadian or American thing — it’s an industry-wide issue that we don’t really deal with anything other than the good stuff. The last 15 years or so of standardbred racing has seen the Leave It To Beaver-ization of the sport. Would anyone like another piece of cream pie?

There were 13 races on Canada’s biggest night, and 12 replays.

I've taken the lack of replays to be a respectful thing rather than hiding anything. Football has done the same in respect of showing injuries. Just last night they held off on the Jeremy Cameron for some time and earlier in the year they did not show the Jeremy Howe injury.

There is a bit of difference between holding back on Jeremy Cameron for a few minutes and NEVER posting a Group race replay Brendan.
I have never thought of it as respectful but rather a fear of the Animal Cruelty lobby
