I think the worst in this regard had to be the Tennessee 50 back 20 years ago
(remember, Jody?). The horses lined up in a large grassy meadow, facing a
fenceline about 100 yards away at the edge of the woods. There was a ten-foot
gate in the fence, with a ninety-degree turn to the right up a single-track just
past it. They fired a gun (literally) to start the ride and there was a sprint
to be first through the gate!
