Drunken Horse Racing

Wha whaaaaaat?
Just stumbled across a program on the VICE Network about an annual drunk horse race in Guatemala. Happened to catch the last few minutes so I Googled it...sure enough, these folks race drunk on horses in a small town called Todos Santos.

Recipe for disaster :faint: and that's exactly what happens

Scary......


A bit scarier then wagering under the influence.

Everyone in Guatemala should be drunk. A nasty place.

Just watched the video. Looks like a quaint little town. I hope to make it there some day.

Are the horses sober?

You would think this is a regular occurrence in US racing given some of the posts on here analyzing races after the fact...

I expected to read something about Southern California.

better to know the riders are drunk, than putting money on horses, and watching a drunk on board.
