When I first saw that headline today I thought it was something like Roberto Duran!

Not that bad thankfully but the poor horse looked terrified. Don't understand the logic of being drawn a horse. Apart from the horses being spooked, the outcome of an elite sport should have as little to do with luck as possible.
I only saw the video of it yesterday, talk about a storm in a teacup! It was basically a fist bump on the horses ass, I've gotten harder punches from my 5 and 6 year old nephews.
Agreed on the illogical drawing of horses, if someone is used to practicing for years on their nice friendly mare and goes up on a stubborn stallion with 20 minutes "bonding" time, it's bound to end badly.

I love this picture.

It's like the horse knows he's just crushed her Olympic dream and he's loving it! :D

Did you enjoy the Keirin Pat. I believe the Tokyo Olympics elevated this discipline.
