Race Horse Runs Loose onto Train Platform

Annabel Neasham's horse caused a stir when it wandered onto the platform at Warwick Farm station as a train approached, captured by CCTV footage.

This occurred after unknown individuals broke into one of Neasham's stable blocks, releasing four horses, including three registered racehorses and a stable pony. While three horses stayed near the complex, the one seen on social media took a different path.

Neasham and her team managed to retrieve the horse from the station's car park, only realizing its platform adventure after viewing the footage.

Racing NSW chief steward assured there were no integrity issues with recent races, as none of the horses from the affected stable block were entered to race after the incident. Sydney Trains boss Matt Longland expressed disbelief at the situation, recounting receiving a call about a "passenger horsing around," which turned out to be the loose racehorse.

Despite the unusual event, the horse was safely restrained before any mishap occurred.
