Thursday Video: Hero Race?

They may be using the term “hero” loosely, but we still think this looks like one heck of a horse race.

We’re not totally sure what’s happening here, but based on an educated guess — and confirmation by Google Translate — it appears that La Course Des Héros is meant to be a hero race. We’re also not totally convinced that Napoleon or Cleopatra were heroes, but it matters not. They both made a strong showing and gave a solid fight as they raced their way toward the finish line.

Watch the video to see who comes out victorious:

Even if it’s not nearly as, um, creative as this race, we hope your Thursday is full of heroes and entertainment. Go riding!
