River Crossroad RVF became an internet sensation the first time on July 10, when the 3-year-old gelding ran in Charles Town's seventh race. He was in the lead but made a sudden right-hand turn at the top of the stretch, heading back toward the stable area, reports beyondtheflag.org.
If you had the 9 in the 7th at Charles Town … this qualifies as a #BadBeat 😳 @StanfordSteve82 @notthefakeSVP @chrisfallica pic.twitter.com/CdUISoLVuC

The Jeff Runco trainee made it onto SVP's Bad Beats with Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve on ESPN. Though River Crosroad RVF broke his maiden in his next start, he pulled his signature stunt once again on Sept. 10. Charles Town stewards have now barred the horse from competing at the West Virginia track.
The Bad Boy of Charles Town made it back on Bad Beats … 😑
We can report that River Crosroad RVF has been barred indefinitely from racing here at Charles Town. https://t.co/IdvqA3QwQ2
