Dang, bad wreck in the gate just now in a prelim race. Horse began to bust through the gate, but was held back by the stewards and went over backwards.

As a horse owner who knows how horses think, the gates always make me nervous. For an audience who is already nervous, this doesn't help.

Is it a bigger or wider gate than other tracks?

Usually they appear to be pretty tight confines.
