I actually hit the exacta with that horse. Can't imagine if you bet that horse to win. What a sick beat.

Looking at the replay , he gave that horse a little whippin for his antics ,
But all in all , could have been a disaster with a bigger field . Thankfully it wasn't .
I'd also appreciate it if a horseman would chime in Was it shadows was or something up with the bit ? Not like this horse was a head case before during a race .

What a ride!

That was sick! It's pretty amazing to see horses overcome crazy stuff like that and either win or come mighty close to winning...just goes to show you it just might be easier to win a race than people generally think... 
All you need is a horse with determination...

Jockey Xavier Perez, who lost his stirrups during his mount’s lunge off the screen, told Eppler he thought the horse was reacting to the reflection of some water pooled between the dirt and turf courses when he bolted at the 5/16 pole. No one is sure what set Spicer Cub off at the 3/16 pole, although Eppler noted he seemed to follow the edge of the grandstand’s shadow following a correction from Perez. http://www.paulickreport.com/news/th...ute-to-second/

Horse could have won by 10 or 12 or more.
Got a little hairy when he went between the gate and outer rail.
Xavier Perez should get a mountain of praise for not only avoiding catastrophe but still having the ability to try and win the race. Amazing.

Produce Movie
I wish they would make a movie of the event but there are no more
clowns in the country. They could name it, "Great Balls of Dire".

watching the head on he clearly spooked from the shadow cast by the starting gate. At least it appears to be the gate. It was a square shadow all across the track to the rail. about as long as the gate was. that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a race aside from a horse that hit a deer once at turfway park I believe.
