If you can’t beat ’em, bite ’em. Or so seems to have been the philosophy of Thoroughbred racehorse Firenze Fire as he thundered down the home stretch at Saratoga Race Course in the $600,000 Forego Stakes last weekend.
The horse took exception to rival ‒ and ultimate winner ‒ Yaupon as they galloped neck-and- neck in the final stretch. The race video shows Firenze taking a few bites out of Yaupon’s face and yanking on his bridle, with the equine’s aggressive tactics going viral and Twitter going mad, with some calling the horse “Mike Tyson.”
