Oaklawn Feature
 
Chuck's horse, Richwood Silver is leading coming into the stretch. Suddenly, Borel pulls up the horse and looks back over his shoulder. Then the rest of the jocks start pulling up. Gate wasn't moved off the track. We do it right here in Arkansas!!!

thats the worst thing ive ever seen,,,,,,,,

Only slightly worse than when they started the race before the last horse moved forward to load earlier in the meet. I think Terry Wallace was the last person at the track to realize what was going on.

Would have to be.I think we at home could tell before this guy did.

Guess no one is listening to Chuck talk about it with me on ATR right now...

Maybe it was a tractor malfunction. I've never paid much attention to how they move the gates off the track, but I did notice last time I was there that there are 2 tractors. Don't know whether it takes both of them to move the gate or whether one is just in reserve in case the other one won't work. Seems like if that was the case, and they can move it with just one tractor, they would have. Can't imagine why Terry Wallace couldn't see all that from the top of the clubhouse?
