Curlin: Forwards or Backwards?

[miraja2]

That would not be cool at all, because if that happens that means every other horse in the race broke down.
That is the only way Lukas's horse could have any chance of hitting the exacta, and frankly I don't think horses breaking down is in any way cool.
Well, on second thought, I suppose if every other horse scratches then it might be possible too. But that still isn't very cool.
