We all like a drink from time to time. It’s nice to unwind after a hard day’s work perhaps, or to let your hair down at the weekend. Maybe you like to knock back a couple and then brave it on the dancefloor, or fail miserably in a pub quizz. One hopped up individual though, namely Michael Wells-Rody, from Kentucky, decided while in his merry mindset that he’d like to take part in the Kentucky Breeder’s Cup (Did the $6 million Breeder’s Cup Classic take his fancy?).
An inebriated Wells-Rody, made his way into the restricted area of the course and grabbed the first horse to hand. He then made it out of the tunnel and was well on his way to the track entrance when he was stopped by a sober on course steward (aka a spoil sport). He was taken to a county jail near to track ponder his hijinks.
Instead of partaking in alcohol fueled escapades, he should’ve instead just stayed and watched the high class racing action at the Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Kentucky, which saw Enabled ridden by Frankie Detorri win the Breeder’s Cup Turf Race on Enable.
The 24 year old individual was described as being “loud and disorderly” on the scene, with the citation stating that he “was manifestly under the influence of alcoholic beverages”. He has since been charged with disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication in a public place. He’s set to appear in court.
