If no one is hurt, it's hilarious seeing folks chase a crazy beast. When experienced horsemen like Don Rice get killed or Jeff Lukas get damaged for life, no one is laughing. Race horses hurt alot of people every year. I know of grooms, hot walkers and others with scars to prove it. It is simply not a safe place for those who are not experienced. It's dangerous enough for those who belong there.

I agree about training centers. Allowing horse turn out time and giving them a chance to be ridden out apart from training is good for them. Many horses at Fair Hill get hacked out in the woods or jogged down paths etc. Just varying the routine can freshen them up.
