To truly grasp that sentiment, one must first appreciate how deeply Serbia’s favorite son felt connected to horses. “There’s an old saying,” Jokic shared with The Athletic. “If you swallow a horsehair as a child, you’ll love horses forever.” What fascinates me about horses is their movement, behavior, rest, and scent. I enjoy observing them, training them, and watching them race. The one thing I never got to do is return to racing myself. I miss that unique sensation of becoming one with the horse.”
Fan Take: This heartfelt connection highlights the profound bond between humans and horses, something that resonates deeply with racing enthusiasts. It serves as a reminder of the sport’s emotional richness and could inspire a new generation to cherish and engage with horse racing on a more personal level.
