HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Wiremealilcheck came from way outside and crossed the finish line with what would have been an impressive win - if his jockey had been aboard.
Jon Court fell off the gelding early in the 5 1/2-furlong race at Oaklawn Park on Friday, but Wiremealilcheck pressed on anyway, leaving fans to watch the rare spectacle of a horse crossing the finish line first with nobody on his back. The "victory" didn't count and Truly Inspired was named the official winner of the race.
