A number of horses in the race have already broken a leg, but don’t even know it. They will be taken to the barn and shot by the lead horse. If the lead horse does not win, there is a bomb which will explode at the finish line and kill all the other horses, so it’s either the lead horse or no other horse.

There will be a lot of people in the grandstands grumbling and tearing up betting slips if the current lead horse loses; particularly if he gets DQed.
