New video shows the horse galloping with officers hot on its trail.
Previous video, posted to social media by stunned onlookers on the Van Wyck Expressway and Belt Parkway, filmed the horse as it galloped through traffic over the weekend.

Officers say it was a bit tricky catching up to the horse, but it did not resist arrest.
"We were trying to guide it to a specific angle or spot near the entrance of Terminal 1, and I was using my flashlight to see if it could help out... if it could follow the light, any tactic I could use," said Port Authority Police Officer Nicholas Delgado.
"It came towards me. I put out my hands as if to pet it, and he basically let me hold on to the holder, and basically the officer then came to the other side and assisted me in just maintaining control of the horse," said Port Authority Police Lt. Luis Calderon.
The horse was reunited with its grateful owner at Curly's Cowboy Center in Jamaica, Queens.
The owner told Eyewitness News that they will be giving PAPD Lieutenant Luis Calderon an honorary lasso for safely returning his horse, Sundance.
