I was there today... it was quite intense. The horses hit the far turn, and the gate is still there. Everyone noticed it on the apron. It was crazy.
As for Terry Wallace, one of the last things an announcer is looking for is the starting gate during a race. It's such a rare event. Ironically, it happened I believe at Horsemen's Park... and Wallace was the caller?
Either way, it's just a tough break and an unfortunate incident. But everyone came out unscathed and no worse for the wear.
