I’m wondering the same thing. I can recall an incident at Keeneland on the turf course that the race had to be stopped. All three outriders rode against the field telling the jockeys to pull up.

Also where was the backup tractor? Most major racetracks have a backup with a tow chain for such an incident.

I think that race was totally thrown out. I think the tractor had a stuck parking brake and the pull off wouldn’t start. How unfortunate.

An oblivious race caller. Big surprise.

While their Internet audience at home (95% of their audience) is watching the technological equivalent of crappy early 1950’s broadcasting –

They brainlessly assume that it’s the same quality as network TV.

Race callers and local TV news blowdrys = dead heat IQs.

Feel sorry for the poor horses, having to run all that way so hard just for it not to count. Least it didn’t end too badly.
