I second the thanks to you, Mike.  You have always been very helpful  
in answering my questions, or pointing me to someone who can help me.

As to the GSFHR accident, the only item I found was on this link:

http://www.mcphersonsentinel.com/articles/2007/09/11/news/news3.txt

The details that were reported in the article were:
  -- occurred at 1:58 pm on Tuesday, at 27th Ave and Cimarron Road  
seven miles south of Canton (Kansas, I presume)

  -- Vehicle struck two horses (both riders are women).  Both riders  
were airlifted to Wichita.  The driver was transported to McPherson  
Memorial Hospital.

-- Eyewitnesses reported the women riders apparently went past the  
finish line and into the path of the vehicle.

No word on the horses, but I am assuming it isn't good.
