It has been an issue for decades, just these days harder to sweep away/hide. I had a decent bet on a horse early winter at Awapuni in mid nineties. Going to bolt in. Falters at around 150m, picks itself up, runs 2nd. I was perplexed until I read that it had put its leg in a hole. Stopped betting May though Sept after that.

talking holes on race tracks, sometime around mid 80's? Trentham, recon it was M Lydon, she had come down on the turn in a winters race! I was doing the 'turn for home flash photo', ran across to see that she was OK and then was this deep 12+ hole about size of rugby ball! I took a photo and ptretty sure if was published in that weeks Flash! Racing continued on for the day....
