Could be he beat them to the finish but they have to subtract time from the runners for all the horses vet check times where they have to stop and humans don't. This guy best the horses by over an hour. Ran an average 7 minute mile for 50 miles
A horse cannot tell us when he or she is about to collapse from dehydration or some other physical crisis, and a human will the will to win ruin a horse. The vet checks help prevent that. People, especially athletes, recognize their symptoms, can talk to each other, and there are support stations for everyone all along the route.
Ridiculousness
BS. Dennis Poolheco won this race 6 times and already beat the horses. CHECK YOUR FACTS

Not real. The horses are forced to stand around at the checkpoints for long periods, while the human keeps running. Not a true result.
you don’t want the horse to sprint itself to death

That time calculated into the runners times, so yes it is a true result
Horses get 75 minutes subtracted off their finish time to account for mandatory stoppage you're talking about. Did you even watch the video?
