he was a little spooked and about 130 pounds lighter. i wonder why he won.
Those things are built to run.

Uh, DUH. Practically, everytime a horse throws his rider, he wins the race. Why is this is a story? Happens at least once daily at a race track somewhere in the USA.
Horses can run faster without 125-130 pounds on their back. This is obvious.

The rest of the time, they just the infield barrier and trample people/things. Jockeys control the horses. They’re beasts, they don’t understand that there’s money on them.
Racing dogs chase a rabbit, but they understand to chase the rabbit. Horses don’t understand intrinsically to run in a big circle, so they run wherever there is space.

the steroids pumped into horses matter more than the jockey

shouldn’t the goal be to toss the jockey out of the gate?

yea, but you don’t win the race if you don’t finish on the horse. there would be alotta pissed off owners if this was the goal.

Tossing The Jockey has officially become my new phrase when discussing masterbation.

i’m guessing he’s a jockey? gotta confess, i’m not real big on watching animals run in circles.
neckcar on hooves.

Because all jockey’s are white? That’s racist.

clown nailed it.
And I thought “tossing the jockey” was a term used by bouncers when throwing small Latin people out of bars?
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:29 pm
No, because when you toss your jockey off, you win.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
jockeys are totally frauds. when i get into the horse game, im going to tell my jockeys to hurl themselves off the horse in the first 10 seconds.

I can’t tell which of you jokers is joking. The rule is this: if a horse tosses his jockey, that horse is automatically disqualified from the race. It doesn’t matter where the horse finishes relative to the field, as he is disqualified. The horse in the video outran the field, but did not win the race.

I enjoy the rage you feel when you share factual information that is ignored and dismissed. It must be how Al Gore feels when he talks about global warming.

how can a horse toss it’s jockey? they don’t have thumbs.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Are you joking? Is that I joke? I can’t tell, yet I’m still outraged.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Haven’t read the comments yet, but shouldn’t trainers just tell the jockey to feign falling off shortly after the start of the race? I think as long as it looks like an accident, the horse can still win.

It has to be your bull.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
So horse racing can become more like soccer and basketball?
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:07 pm
i don’t get the need for jockeys. i mean, you go to a dog track you don’t see the hounds with monkeys on their backs.

but the horse couldn’t beat THIS stallion
