British sprinter Jamie Baulch raced against a race horse last night and lost. Baulch says when he heard the hooves he thought, "there really is a race horse behind me." As if the lights, the crowd and the racetrack hadn't given him a clue already.
The horse -- Peopleton Brook -- went off at 1-to-9 odds, which suggests that perhaps someone bet on the human.
