That is just awful. I know this kind of thing has happened before...I can never bring myself to watch the videos that exist of this kind of accident...I can't imagine.
I know tracks are supposed to have sirens that go off when there is a loose horse during training hours...and I would assume jocks are supposed to stop their horses such that if the loose horse comes at them, the loose horse will instinctually avoid the stationary horse.
Maybe this one happened so suddenly it couldn't be avoided?
