The author of this article begins with a lighthearted rhetorical question for the reader: where would horses go if they could roam free? The author then continues on to include details about where a certain horse went after he escaped from his home. A quote is included, describing the horse's peculiar path of travelling and amazingly good luck. The author describes how shortly after a workout, the horse, Bullet Catcher, bucked his rider and surpassed security before the guards had time to close the gate. Eyewitness accounts of the horse's bold escape are included in the article, as well as how far the horse travelled and for how long. Bullet Catcher was lucky, getting all green lights and avoiding crashes with cars speeding through busy intersections, unaware of his presence. Packing the article with pathos, experienced jockeys are interviewed, giving their perspective and commentary on this extremely unusual situation. Luckily, by the end of the article, Bullet Catcher was captured and brought back to his permanent residence at Laurel Park.
