NYP:
She had the only true horsepower on the entire highway.
A two-year-old filly named Bold and Bossy escaped the Ellis Park racetrack on Saturday and was videoed running alongside traffic down stretches of U.S. 41 and I-69 in Henderson, Ky., according to multiple reports and social-media posts.
The racehorse reportedly bucked its rider, Miguel Mena, ahead of the first race and sprinted off the track property. A group of trainers and police pursued the horse in their vehicles before she was apprehended by a local sheriff.
“Thank God for all the people who jumped in to go find her, because she left town,” the horse’s owner and trainer Michael Ann Ewing told the Associated Press from Lexington.
Ewing added that Bold and Bossy, who is owned by Bantry Farms, suffered minor leg injuries due to losing two shoes and dehydration cramps during her highway gallop. more
Good thing this didn’t happen in Australia.
I69 ends not far from my house. They wouldn’t let him into Canada without proper paperwork so he would have to stop. You could catch him then.

Huron, with this weather it’s bound to go in just to cool off. Thinking about it myself. The Different Tim 1st annual floatdown! (Was on the first of many before it got to big and stupid)
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Henderson (used to go all the time when we lived in French Lick IN) but isn’t Ellis Park almost right on the Ohio River? There’s not a lot of places she could go but the highway. And maybe Indiana. Heh.

Born Free, My father’s a doctor…
Baby, we were born to run.
You gotta be careful what you name a racehorse.
😜
So sweet! Thanks for the nostalgia. My sibs and I had a half-dozen horses when we were kids and they periodically got out (of their otherwise large and luxe digs) and pulled this stunt because, well… because… it’s fun. We’d be eating dinner or whatever and suddenly hear cloppity clop clop as they high-tailed it down the road to go eat stuff in someone’s garden or destroy the golf course a few miles away.
I’ve been thru the desert on a horse with no name…
Name it “Alpo”
