War of Will may have won Saturday’s Preakness Stakes, but it was Bodexpress -- a horse that finished out of the money – that seemed to steal the spotlight. That’s because Bodexpress threw its jockey immediately after leaving the gate – and ran riderless the rest of the way during the big event at Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course.

Video on NBC appeared to show a handler inside the gate still grabbing hold of Bodexpress when the gate opened, possibly explaining why the horse bucked.
