Evoking memories of the famous 1997 Tyson-Holyfield boxing match, a race on Saturday at Del Mar finished with one horse literally trying to take a bite out of his competition.

With just one win from 18 starts on the season, perhaps Woodman's Luck was showing a bit of frustration after heading for the seventh bridesmaid finish in his career.

Woodman's Luck tried to bite frontrunner Romeo Royale not once, but twice. Romeo Royale would not be denied the victory and avoided both attacks from the outside to prevail.
