Horsemen honored at the Rock

 Return Home
August 28, 2009 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Harness horsemen Todd O'Dea and Walter Ross, Jr. were honored in a winner's circle ceremony at Rockingham Park on Friday (Aug. 28) for their help in saving the life of a fellow horseman who suffered a serious heart attack last month during the afternoon of racing.
When trainer Andrei Guidette Jr. was stricken in the Rockingham Park paddock on July 22, O'Dea and Ross were cool in the midst of the crisis and immediately responded to administer CPR until medical personnel could arrive on the scene. Guidette was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he subsequently underwent a quadruple bypass operation.
Reportedly, Guidette is recuperating and in good spirits as he hopes for a return to racing next spring.  
"I hope he lives a long and happy life," said Ross. O'Dea echoed that sentiment and added, "I hope he gets back to racing soon." (Rockingham)
