I read (among other things) they're protesting horse deaths.
If that's the case, maybe they should have done a little research first.
Last time I ran stats - Golden Gate had the lowest breakdown rate of any track in California.

They should get the van, put up the screen, toss them in it, and take them off the premises

I’m not sure that engaging these people over Twitter is a bright idea, they’re not interested in a debate and tbh they have a point about breakdowns. The root of a breakdown is almost never ‘just a bad step’ that gets repeated ad nauseum

I prefer to use “gone amiss” but calling a breakdown in real time is always a judgement call. I’m not sure there’s a right or wrong answer. Some announcers choose to, or are told to, ignore such incidents.

I certainly don’t envy the announcers that have to call them, especially at the tracks that are filling low level claimers with sore horses. They see a lot of them
