People who think they are doing something good releasing racehorses to just run about, need to be put in jail or a psychiatric facility. Its lucky none of the horses died or killed someone on the roads. Its a miracle none of them got hurt.

as a weird aside, i liked how the article was written. words, sentence structure, thoroughly detailed, etc, better than a lot of american articles i've read lately. the DWC article on bloodhorse saw me close the page half way in, i couldn't keep reading it.
on topic, i can't imagine how ugly this could have been. it could have been a disaster just at the stables but at a train station... ugh. bet that horse got a lot of relieved hugs and treats after returning.

IMO, people who do that aren't trying for 'something good.' They're going for
chaos. For the kicks.

Pride of Jenni put on quite a front-running show winning the Queen Elizabeth (G1) today at Randwick.

I saw that race...and it gave me a giggle. When the race caller said he'd never seen a horse go off by 30 or so lengths, and still hold on to win (
and by open lengths 
), I thought, "guess you never saw Presious Passion run."
