In case you missed the Preakness Stakes (and with no Triple Crown winner to be had this year you probably did), a horse named Bodexpress bucked his rider at the gate and actually finished ahead of a couple of horses as he ran the race to the finish without the jockey.<\/p>\n
At one point during the race, some sort of quality control horse tried to corral the riderless horse to make sure he didn’t interfere with the horses that still had a chance. The one problem was that the QC horse took Bodexpress, who was running on the outside and not bothering anybody, and actually steered him towards the racing pack and could have made the situation worse than it was.<\/p>\n
