And while I am not an outrider nor have I stayed at a holiday inn, the guy and his horse were bit or savaged, and Mr. Horse Whisperer was pissed, and being pissed on national TV and viewing his rightful emotion is not a great look. So my wife asks, do they always make a horse ride with a pony after a race? Nope, it's for TV. They want that human moment interview. Oh, so they can let him go and stop this nonsense. Yep. Too bad I didn't know that Biasi was the greatest. Then I could explain how that should matter to her or racing.

Nothing against the outrider and I am sure he is excellent and puts his life on the line to save horses and people on the track daily...none of that is the point
