Starting gate still on the track?

Did anyone see this? I just heard about it on the news, apparently they accidentally left the starting gate on the track at Horsemen's Park... and when the horses turned for home the jockey's all skillfully maneuvered the freaked out horses to the far outside and went on from there... after those horses passed it they were all looking so confused

You can see the video here: <a href='http://www.wyff4.com/video/9555026/detail.html' target='_blank'>http://www.wyff4.com/video/9555026/detail.html</a>

Oh my... that is something I wouldn't want to see in person. Luckily everyone looked to be ok. Sheesh!

It's a good thing both horses and jockeys saw that thing ahead of time. That could have been very bad

Footage is now linked on CNN.com, so a whole lot of people will see it. Amazing video, though my favorite part is seeing the duel down the stretch
