Post by: sea biscuit on November 11, 2011, 12:25:51 PM: This lunatic just walks across the track and tries to punch a horse. Guess when and where it happened.

Youre right it was Preakness day at Pimlico and the year was 1999.

Post by: The Giss on November 13, 2011, 04:51:23 PM: The funny thing is that the real Artax was white.

One of the saddest scenes in any movie ever- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwmn2pdr78M

Rumors abound that the horse died during filming but they are not true.
