Question

Does a horse know if it's won a race????

Answer 1

Absolutely.  There was a New York bred named Gander... he dropped his jockey at the very start of the race when they broke out of the gate, but he kept racing, passed horses in the backstretch, made the lead and won by 2 or 3 lengths... then he galloped out another furlong, walked over to the outrider and tried to go to the winners circle because he thought he won!  And when Go For Wand broke her leg, she stood back up, crossed the line then went to the winners circle.  They know when they've done well.

Answer 2

im sure it does. im sure the jockey praises him even more when tey win a race. also if they do win the race don't they usually hang something around the horse like roses?

Answer 3

sometimes.

We used to have a horse that would go to a winner circle after every race. I guess he got so used to going to the winners circle that he thinks it a routine!

lol. weird.

i love horses
