Yes!

DRF|Saratoga: Morning traffic jams on turf course lead to restrictions

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Tom Bush was intently eyeing Get Stormy as his multiple Grade 1 winner began to pick up momentum under jockey Ramon Dominguez during his final workout over the Oklahoma turf course in preparation for Sunday’s Grade 2 Fourstardave here at Saratoga. Suddenly, Bush heard the blaring sound of the horn that is activated when a horse gets loose on the track.

“I looked over and saw the loose horse beginning to turn back up the stretch [going the wrong way] along the inside fence and my heart started pounding so hard,” said Bush. “I was about as insane as you get watching the riderless horse head in Stormy’s direction. I kept turning back and forth from my horse to the loose horse so many times I don’t even remember where Ramon eventually got him pulled up.”

Fortunately for Bush and the dozens of other horses either working or galloping around the track at the time, the unidentified loose horse decided to wheel about 100 yards from the finish line, crashed and knocked over part of the inside fence, and ran off into the infield, where he was safely pulled up by an outrider a short while later. Meanwhile, Dominguez, ultimately sensing the seriousness of the situation, began to ease Get Stormy up inside the sixteenth pole, completing the work and happily bringing him home safely to his anxious connections.
