Six-year-old All of the Above was living the retired life, training to become an eventer when he decided to let his handlers know he wasn't done with racing yet.

According to the Off Track Thoroughbreds blog, the horse had just finished with a jump training session and was being untacked by Adrian Jones, his owner's daughter, when All of the Above took off. He sprinted across the training facility and galloped a quarter of a mile to a nearby training track, leapt over the outside rail, and proceeded to breeze two miles before anyone could catch him.

Now, All of the Above is headed back to race training at Monmouth Park. He was originally retired after a foot abscess, which he has since recovered from. Owner Keith Jones said the horse will run at the allowance level to avoid him being claimed and if he doesn't take to the track, he will be re-retired.
