A horse galloped down I-95 this week. Play our game to see how far you can make it. On Tuesday, a horse ran along I-95 from Kelly Drive to Port Richmond. Play our game to see if you can beat him.

It's the year of the horse. A good excuse to revisit Horse 95. Our game about the time a horse broke free on I-95.
