I have always been scared this would happen
at the minor league track I attend. What if the tractor does not start, leave it idling... what the heck do you do? They have a backup, a tractor that would pull the tractor with the gate. Never used the backup. NEVER had a problem.

You have no idea the gate is sitting until Borel turns around to make sure he is clear and then pulls up.

unreal, and what about the back-up system or safety? nobody had the forethought to go in and tap Terry Wallace on the shoulder? he sounded so stupid trying to pick up on closing horses a full 10 seconds after everybody pulled up.

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.
