The malfunction I heard about was at River Downs in OH.
"The executive director of the Ohio State Racing Commission has recommended the July 22 Queen City Oaks, marred by a starting gate malfunction that delayed the start for seven 3-year-olds fillies in a field of 12, be rerun Aug. 13 at River Downs.
Stewards declared the $100,000 Ohio-bred fixture at River Downs near Cincinnati a "no contest" because gates on more than half the starting stalls failed to open with the others. The delay cost the affected horses several lengths at the start. In addition, Money Card flipped in the gate just before the start in post five, and never competed in the race."
