In reality, the loose horses are not trying to run from the smoke, they are trying to find away back to the barns that are burning. They equate the barn with safety. So they are trying to go back to the burning barns. Same thing happen at Woodbine. Horses that had their stall doors opened, perished in the fire. They refused to leave the barn area. They have become so accustomed to people doing everything for them, they don't recognize the dangers of the fire.
