I Don’t Feel Like Racing Today
Not only was this horse in a bad mood, but he was cunning enough to rely on the element of surprise when he told his jockey he felt like taking a day off.

That’s bizzare, never seen a horse do anything like that in thirty years around them.
Horses are neither cunning nor calculating (or like to hurt themselves)and generally respond in a flight or fright way and he seemed calm enough before and after so obviously something freaked him out as he went to walk forward but wow what a reaction.
Luckily neither were hurt.

I’ve seen horses rear up, loose their balance and fall over backwards before, even with a rider. Interestingly enough, it was always thoroughbreds who had spent time racing on the track.
