I’m not into horse racing either...I lost any interest in horse racing when they had to shoot that horse at the K Derby a few years ago...
I’ve had trail horses of my own for 50 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with a rear view mirror...
Have you????
I haven’t see the entire race yet, just the infraction video.
We really don’t know the intent of the jockey. Since he was in the lead, he may have been looking for drier ground to run on..
