The Carolina Panthers’ Superman performed a heroic deed over the weekend.

Quarterback Cam Newton was partying at the Preakness Triple Crown horse race on Saturday when heavy rain started soaking the Baltimore area about 40 minutes before the race started at 6:18 p.m.

The track’s social media team captured a Snapchat video of Newton carrying the woman across the muddy track. (BlackandBlueReview.com has the video.)

Twitter seemed pretty impressed by the gesture.

Oh, and American Pharoah won the race and is now one win away from becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner.
