This is why the starter is in control of the track and the ambulance has no business being on the track until the starter has deemed it safe. This is not only my opinion, but this is the opinion of many Horsemen and starters that I have known over the years. It is a safety thing. That ambulance is more of a risk than anything while there are horses running around in the track. If they didn’t have an ambulance there, it would take at least five minutes to get it to respond, there’s no reason whatsoever that they need to bring that ambulance onto the track immediately. Those guys were all up and walking around. They were able to get off the track and they should have. They could’ve been treated in the infield or they could’ve waited until the horses were caught. I drove a starting gate at several paramutual tracks and some fairs over the years. The starter I worked with told every ambulance crew before every race card, do not come out onto the track until I tell you it’s OK. I don’t care if 100 people are screaming for you to get on the track you do not come onto this track until I give you the OK. He would then issue them a two-way radio which they could use to communicate directly with him in the starting car. The announcer did a great job, but common sense must prevail, and in this video, this is a prime example as to how not to do things

An excellent, highly recommended four part RU-vid series is the Louisville, KY radio station WHAS-AM on the 1974 Super Outbreak. It’s eight to nine hours long but well worth listening to. Early December 1967, my family were living in Monroeville, AL when a tornado hit Frisco City, AL; abt seven to ten miles South of Monroeville. It happened during the Annual Alabama-Auburn football game. We didn’t know anything abt it until the game was over w/.; & we joked the radio station dared not interrupt the football game to give out a warning. I’ve seen several tornadoes living in Tuscaloosa, including the April 2011 ‘Forgotten Tornado’ a week & a half before the 27 April 2011 onslaught. Have had several tornadoes pass to w/in 1/2 to 1/4 mile South of me several times.
