All horses et al ,had just gone to the track. Noone was in the walking ring. The horse dumped the jock out on the track(according to eye witnesses) then ran back through the tunnel down toward the saddling area.
I was walking along the clubhouse rail(bordering the path to the track) out in the table/umbrella area. I was heading to the track when I heard that "thunderous pounding of hoofs" and then City On Line ran by me doing at least 30mph. I heard someone scream loose horse simultaneously as City On Line flew by me. I don't think anyone was in the tunnel that I heard. Fortunately.
Horrific thing to see. People were stunned. Very sad. I wish I was somewhere else.
