Anyone who has cycled, and has experienced riding at the tail of a large group, can appreciate the garden trip this filly got in that race. And, while they repeatedly focused on her bad start in the video, it wasn't anything to get concerned about.

This is what racing should be like: sit a trip and sprint to the wire.

Horses are not bikes.
Some like to be covered up, some cant stand
it. And for God sake they are running. Again what
happens on a bike when you stop pedaling? What
happens when you stop running?

You guys who know horses let this guy get away
with this bogus analogy... unfrikkn believable.
Sit a trip. Sit a trip. Guess what happens when
when a horse tries to steal a race. Honestly.
Has the fatman actually ever run in a race on
a track. The comparison of human running would be much
better than a human riding a godforsaken bike.

Was a good race to watch.
