Vacansoleil's Johnny Hoogerland is not faster than a horse. That became clear when he lost two of three rounds against the harness racer Arnold Mollema and his trotter Unforgettable in Wolvega, the Netherlands on Saturday.

"Unforgettable never ran faster," Hoogerland joked afterward.

While Hoogerland did not emerge victorious, his exploits helped to raise 3,500 euros for the Jayden Foundation for childhood cancer, a charity for which he serves as an ambassador.
