A few years back I was an expert witness in a case where a horse in the 
winner's circle had a heart attack and fell over on the owner's wife, killing 
her. Who was found at fault? The racetrack.  They owned the facility. The 
owner and wife were non-professional participants. It was the facility's 
responsibility to ensure that "innocents" don't find themselves in dangerous 
circumstances without adequate warning or safeguards.
