What actually happened here is that these horses are trained to throw all of their strength into the hitch as soon as its hooked to the weight...and it broke. The horses simply could not stop themselves and charged down the arena based off of sheer inertia.
Nobody was seriously injured and the announcer was and is simply amazing.
Even draft horses will run away occasionally...
They have this look on their faces like "oh man this is easier than normal!"
