Where is the Cowboy?
During the Baja 500 race. Looks like a McMillin truck.

Probably shredded in the under-carriage of that truck.

It happens all the time in Baja races - the car spooks a cow/horse/other and they freak out. I'm certain the driver was taking evasive action
(steering, braking) until he was clear of the animal.
Or said differently: zero intent on the driver's part.

Believe he's movin' faster than California Chrome . . .
Believe the rider was off leaking the water . . .

Some moto racers have some empathy for that poor horse.....being chased by 500 crazy horses hell-bent on passing everything in sight 
Don't believe everything you think....

Great point, wonder if the McMillans have seen this. Million dollar trophy truck beaten by $2000 horse.
