I wasn't here - had to go in to work. I was horrified to hear about this. It was just so, so lucky that Buckles and Rogan weren't hurt. And how many thousands of horses have run over that patch of grass over the years? Terrifying.
They're saying the hole might have been dug and covered up back in the 1960s - how?! The racetrack's been there since 1874. I don't understand. And how could no one have noticed it? Some people have got some explaining to do.
It's lucky there's no racing there for a few months now - that gives them time to sort this hole out and make sure there are no others like it.
