Horse racing oddity: jockey misjudges distance

Video Title :	Horse racing oddity: jockey misjudges distance
Description :	For some reason I find oddities like this May 16, 2004 race very entertaining. The Hasta la Vista Handicap at Turf Paradise in Arizona is run at what today is an unusually long distance of 1 7/8 miles. This requires two full circuits of the course, rather than the usual one time around in most races. Unfortunately for jockey Jorge Carreno, he forgets that minor detail, creating a very unusual sitation. On a personal note, in the early 1980s, I recall Hall of Fame jockey Jorge Velasquez falling victim to the same mental lapse in the 2 1/4 mile Display Handicap at Aqueduct. My father and I got a big kick out of the fans watching the replay cheering "come on Georgie" the first time around, as he was furiously whipping and driving despite having a mile left to run.

Pretty sure you wouldnt i ride a horse i have coachs i can tell when a horse doesnt like something.. So shut your mouth cuz i no more den u bout horses and how do u back !

It got tired as any other horse would have gotten tired after being asked to run. The jockey let her rest for the remainder of the race.
