Don't think this has been posted yet. Watch the video first and i will add to the post a bit later. This is from saturday. You can skip the first bit as nothing happens. Start watching the video at 2:00 mins, but make sure you watch from 5:00 to 5:15 if you skip anymore. You need to be watching number 12, the horse in front [video=youtube;FbH3N5VJzBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbH3N5VJzBE[/video]
That is bonkers. Clearly spooked the 2nd time because of the shadow of the gate. Wonder if he still has his manly bits as if he does I can't see them being around much longer!
The jockey said in an interview afterwards that he considered bailing out as the horse headed for the starting gate, but decided to stick with him when he realised there was enough room to get through! He'd have had a hefty ban for his whip use in this country though!
Looking at how much ability he had, I doubt they'd be to keen on gelding him. Even if it will calm him down
