This is the unbelievable moment a loose racehorse ended up on a train platform - forcing startled travelers to duck for cover.<br /><br />Police are hunting a suspect who got into a top yard and unlocked the stable doors late at night.<br /><br />The horse ran out from the property, headed off down the road, and ended up on the nearby platform.<br /><br />Footage showed two shocked travelers ducking out of the way as the 500kg thoroughbred trotted past.<br /><br />It could have been disastrous with the horse remaining on the platform as the train pulled in.<br /><br />But fortunately, the driver had clocked the runaway and pulled in slowly.<br /><br />The horse then hilariously turned to face the doors as if to get on, before being rescued by a member of the staff from the yard.<br /><br />The bizarre scenes took place at top trainer Annabel Neasham's stables in Warwick Farm, New South Wales, Australia.<br /><br />She said: "Some of you may have seen the recent footage in circulation on social media of a horse loose near a train station and we would like to clarify with the below statement.<br /><br />"Recently an unknown person broke into one of our stable blocks in Warwick Farm that was securely padlocked and decided to unlock stable doors.<br /><br />"Unfortunately one horse got loose and down to the nearby train station where it was caught quickly and returned to its stable without any harm.<br /><br />"We have handed the matter over to local police who are currently investigating.<br /><br />"We would like to assure everyone that we are taking every possible precaution to prevent this from happening again."<br /><br />Sydney trains boss Matt Longland said the incident happened about midnight local time last Friday.<br /><br />He said: "We received a call from the police, who were aware an animal had got loose, and it was a fit-looking horse.<br /><br />"It had got loose and it made its way to the train station.<br /><br />"The train pulled into the station and didn't open the doors. It waited for the trainer to catch up with the horse and I think they restrained it."<br /><br />Aussie politician and New South Wales Premier Chris Minns added in response to the clip: "Didn't realize I needed to say but - horses aren't allowed on our trains, sorry folks.<br /><br />"I can confirm the horse has returned home, safe and sound."
