We've learned one thing after watching this video….

Taylor Lautner can be a werewolf AND a were-gator!

The Twilight star stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the host challenged him to an alligator race!

Not only did Secretariat's team get the verdict the wanted, they got an even FASTER time!

As reported earlier, Sec's owner, 90 year old Penny Chenery, and Pimlico Stakes president Tom Chuckas petitioned the Maryland Racing Commission to overturn Sec's racing time for

Looks like he won't be having another after all…

I'll Have Another has been scratched from Saturday's Belmont Stakes, marking an end on the colt's bid to become the first Triple Crown champ since 1978.

The horse's trainer, Doug O'Neil, revealed that I'll Have Another suffered from the beginning signs of tendonitis in his left front leg and the trainer and owner, J. Paul Reddam, decided to retire the horse for good.

O'Neil states the following about the decision process:

He looks great. He's sound. He went great this morning. He looks super (but) you just can't take a chance. He's too valuable of a horse and we love him to death like all of them.

You wouldn't run a horse if you think something might happen.

We're super glad that these trainers had the horse's long term health in mind and not just wanting a piece of history.

I'll Have Another will need at least a year to fully recover but we hope it goes smoothly!

HBO's new show, Luck, is about the world beneath horse racing.

During the filming of short race scenes, two horses have died on separate occasions.

So even though the American Humane Association was on set, monitoring the animals, there will be no "No animals were harmed during the filming of this program" stamp of approval from the AHA in the credits.

We'd like to watch him ride!

The race, the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Surrey, is named after his great grandfather, so it was totes fitting that a beaming Prince Harry was at Ascot to make the presentations.

After standing around looking like a seski prince, Herny presented victorious jockey William Buick with the biggest honour of his career after he rode Nathaniel to victory in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Harry, who watched the action from the Royal Box, descended to the parade ring afterwards to present the trophy to owner Lady Rothschild.

Harry's model gf, Florence Brudenell-Bruce, did not escort her prince-boo.

If she has a problem with horses this polo player might have to drop her skinny ass!

Sorry… jealously is ugly.

And the winner is… Snoopy!

"The Bunny Club" in Germany take racing their rabbits reeel seriously!

They train their rag-tag group of outcast bunnies (rabbits that couldn't be sold for one reason of another) weekly for the big races.

Our apologies to club members, but we can't call something that involves a bunny with a beard barley trying to jump over a hurdle shaped like to playboy symbol a sport.

Watch and laugh.

LOLz!

This energetic dog was totally overwhelmed with excitement when he saw the thousands of runners racing by his house, and he decided he couldn't miss out on what ever it was they were hurrying to.

In May we posted the story about Dozier, the three-year-old Goldendoodle, that Runners reported seeing him at several points along the route.

But it's just recently we found the funny footage of the pooch crossing the finish line.

He clocked in at 2 hours and 14 minutes!
