WOW--Amazing Finish - Hanging on By A Neck

Postby ZZTOPPERS » Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:35 pm

Anyone see Doncaster Race 7 Friday on TVG? The jock's saddle slipped about a half furlong from the wire while he was leading, he nearly falls off, hangs on to the horses neck with both legs on the horse's left side, pulls himself back over the horse, finishes bareback, and hangs on to win by a nose. Unbelievable! Anyone know how to get the replay posted here?

I was just watching for fun and couldn't believe the race. The jockey showed incredible athleticism, no doubt helped by a serious jolt of adrenalin considering how many horses and riders were behind him.
