I've just heard about the awful incident of a horse jumping into the crowd during a race in Australia.

Here's the Youtube link

This photo is amazing from Sky News

I hope those who were injured get well soon.........I have reason to believe the horse was alright afterwards and continued to run round the track before being caught,

Agreed Solerine.
But the course has to look at how it's set up/laid out of it's at all possible.
I've seen all kind of potential horrors, perhaps most at Cheltenham when fallen horses continue on riderless and take the run in instead of following other horses (with a circuit to go), they get to the end and are usually caught thankfully, very occasionally they break free and continue running down the hill in the opposite direction of all other horses.
But I've never seen an incident like this where it's possible for a horse to break into a spectator area, the course has to look at safety....
