Thoroughbred helmet cam
A bit of equestrian geekery, but it's just too cool not to share.
Helmet-cam worn by the jockey of a really beautiful racehorse, Zenyatta.
This demonstrates why TBs in the non-racetrack world can be, um, challenging, but are rarely boring in any way. They are competitive horses who love to go really really fast, and being in front makes them happy. ;) When Zenyatta is catching and just about to pass the other horse, watch for her glancing over at it and then picking up speed. Subtle, but awesome.
