Kentucky drivers were witnesses to the true meaning of horsepower when an Ellis Park racehorse escaped before its race and ran for 30 minutes along U.S. Highway 41.
Living up to its name, two-year-old filly Bold and Bossy crossed state lines into nearby Indiana by heading north in the southbound lanes, sparking a police pursuit and a caravan of worried trainers.
Just minutes before its first race at Ellis Park in Henderson, Ky., the filly was reportedly startled by another horse before bucking its jockey on the way to the the start gates, trainer Michael Ann Ewing told NBC.
