OSCAR PISTORIUS CAN add his name to the list of athletes who have gone up against the animal kingdom in a race — and won.

The South African Paralympian — dubbed “Blade Runner” — was in Doha this week where he out-ran an Arabian horse as part of the “Definitely Able” campaign, which highlights people who have overcome disability to achieve their dreams.

“It wasn’t about who won today,” Pistorius said. “It was just about coming out here and really just showing people that those with disabilities are not to be stereotyped against.”
