McPeek said he regularly ships horses to train between Churchill Downs in Louisville and Keeneland in Lexington, but something went awry June 22. Truck driver Leonard Atkinson was apparently at a standstill when a truck rear ended the horse trailer Atkinson was hauling with five McPeek-trained horses. "It pushed the doors in," McPeek said. "The best we can figure is the truck drove the back door and horses forward and the two fillies climbed over this mess of partitions." Kentucky Derby-Oaks winning trainer Kenny McPeek routinely ships horses between racetracks in Louisville and Lexington. On June 22, a McPeek Racing horse trailer was rear ended, causing two racehorses to get loose on the Watterson Expressway.

Million dollars running along I 64. Holy shite!

The transport van overturned. Luckily all the horses were retrieved and safe and sound.

ETA: some dumbass rear ended one of his trailers on 264 and the horse got out.

If it had been one of the Jeets with a Joetatoe CDL, we might have finally gotten rid of all of them. They can kill all the families they want but, hurt one horse and every white woman in the country would have been out for blood.
