Default Gulfstream 6 - 1/1/16

I have seen bonehead jocks misjudge the finish of a race before, but can't say I have ever seen it in the fashion that bug Gerardo Corrales invented today!

In a 1 7/16 three turn race he apparently thought that they invented quarter horse turf racing by driving his 80-1 shot around the first turn to the wire thinking he won the race! Well worth the look for the amusement!

Wow; that's a first, especially in a three turn race! Hilarious.

For these types of races maybe they should implement racing flags as in NASCAR.
