And a horse that worked up will leave some people with the belief (mistaken) that the horse was drugged and that's why he was acting so crazy.
It's not really that unusual for a horse to try to savage another horse. Even in mid-race. But when the winning horse kept going at the pony I have no idea why the jackass on the pony didn't just back off and leave the horse by himself. He just made a situation worse.

Gotcha. Didn't watch it close enough to see the punch when I first watched it. Just saw a winning horse that still had a bit of wildness left in him after running a helluva race.
