Bman,

That's a problem the day before a race generally.. Most trainers never like a horse getting away from the a.m. rider, but grin and bear it well in advance of a race. It means the horse is feeling good and wants to stay out and expend energy, but you don't want him/her doing it the day before a big race.

Would love to hear from Honu (our resident California exercize rider) about this.. She would have most likely been out on the track when it happened. Did anyone see it on Santa Anita Workout Cam?
