And Now Here’s Exaggerator Being a Goofball During His Bath



Celebrities: They’re just like us. Or in this case, they’re just like the cheekiest pony in your barn. In this series of photos from Getty Images, 2016 Preakness Stakes winner and Belmont favorite Exaggerator is shown playing with his sweat scraper and chewing up a sponge while his patient humans try to give him a bath.



It’s easy to forget, while watching Exaggerator and his cohorts at the top of their sport competing on the world stage, that at the end of the day, they are still just three-year-old colts.
