The horse was eventually caught by some policemen along with some Ellis Park horsemen. They calmed down the house and secured her. As per reports, the horse was to take part in a race that day. Before that could occur, the horse bucked her rider and went on the US-41 highway. Bold and Bossy is the horse's name. According to a source, Bold and Bossy bolted from Ellis Park in Henderson only minutes before the race was set to begin because another horse reportedly began bucking and playing. Bold and Bossy collapsed as a result of the commotion and fled away without her rider Miguel Mena, according to trainer Michael Ann Ewing.
