Hawkstone (Catalina Cruiser) was entered in Sunday's second race at Monmouth Park, but it seems like he was more interested in doing some sightseeing.
As the Cal Lynch trainee was being walked over for the race, he spooked and got loose from his handler.
“He was heading over for the races,” Lynch said. “Unbelievably, no one had closed the stable gate and he ran right out. He was walking over for the race. He was at the gap by the racetrack and the horses from the previous race were galloping by. That spooked him. He reared up and got away from the groom and went all the way down the horse path, and galloped out of the stable gate. No one was there at the stable gate to stop him. That's unbelievable to me. I am very disappointed by that, but at least the horse is okay and nobody got injured. He's back at the barn and everything is fine. That's the saving grace. The people are okay and so is the horse.”
Hawkstone headed west on Rt. 36, the main thoroughfare into Monmouth. Lynch said the horse was caught near a Dunkin' Donuts about a half-mile from the track.
