My boyfriend was working as an exercise rider in the late seventies/early eighties. One of the horses was named House Pet. Well House Pet was racing in Saratoga and was leading by about 3 or 4 and he got spooked and jumped over the fence and into the lake. On the news that evening Warner Wolf was showing plays of the day from the track and he showed the race with House Pet. We were all hysterical. Thank God he didn't get hurt, but a lot of people lost money that day.
