Warrnambool steeplechase
Did anybody else just watch this race? Yikes!
Edit: well, now they are reporting that three patrons were injured, did go to the hospital, but are allegedly okay. Hard to believe when you watch it replayed - a horse appearing out of the sky and falling on you - but thank god! What happened was a horse, Banna Strand, lost it's jockey during a crash, and was racing around the edge of the course - it came up to a solid blind brick (now it's said it was a lattice-like material) six-foot wall along the edge of the course and cleared it readily - but landed right into the crowd. The horse left the track, but was found and brought back. Syndney Morning Herald, screen grab from replay:
