Into the last bend he pushed the apprentice jockey Madelaine Haugland, almost out of the saddle. It is only by some miracle she got back in the plate. The champion jockey claimed that she had got too close and gave her a push to get rid of the attention!
Not only did she get back in the saddle she then went on to win the race by five lengths.
An amazing bit of staying in the saddle!
