Is it a bigger or wider gate than other tracks?

Usually they appear to be pretty tight confines.

I don't know... they are tight confines, and horses are always dangerous, and always at risk, in tight confines.

Yeah - it did look hairy. Hindsight is 20/20 when a horse wants to bust like that. I watched two horses try to to bust the gate in two earlier races today (it happens all the time) and they were able to hold them in there. This time, this horse wasn't tolerate being held back..

Has anyone seen the Three Chimney's Farm Commercial? They have a Get Well card from Barbaro's dad- Dynaformer. Cute.
