Agreed. Seen some very very bad things happen with loose horses. But I have to say you can learn alot about a horse by what he does after he loses the jock. I always follow back the ones who are so competitive they go for the win and drop those that immediately look to get back to the barn.
In the jumps oversees, there are three types of pilotless horses. The ones tha look for an exit, the ones that complete the course and take all the jumps in the process, and the cheaters thsat follow the pack but run around all the jumps intentionally. Not sure what to make of the latter, obviousy they are very smart but not sure a smart horse equals a fasdt or game horse.
