I'm pretty sure that I read Oaklawn now has a back up tractor that can pull both the gate and the broken tractor off the course should the primary tractor fail.

I've seen several tracks now keep a backup tractor at the gate in case it happens. Think NYRA does this, and I know Parx does.
The announcer is almost assuredly not going to be heard by the jocks...

How many tracks have warning lights (?) or... what are some of the warning systems that, it seems, should be in place?
National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance 20122011 Code of Standards I. Catastrophic Injury Planning and Procedures Racetrack Members shall plan for and have protocols in place for instances of catastrophic injury to horses during racing and training at Racetrack Members’ racetrack(s) and training facilities. Such planning shall include, but not be limited to appropriate means of communication to the public, either through the AAEP On-Call Program or AAEP trained spokespersons. Further, racetrack shall have an operable on-track warning system and operating protocols in place for incidents occurring during training hours designed to sufficiently alert and provide notice to personnel on the racetrack. http://www.ntra.com/images/2012_Code_of_Standards.pdf
