The jockey went on to win the race. How on earth did he get back in the plate?!?

Haha wow he looks like he'd make a good stunt rider! It's amazing what some people will do to stay in the saddle...(myself included!)

Haha that is an impressive recovery! Gets his feet back in and everything

Tom Cannon sure is a great little rider, (think he is still a 3 lb claimer) remember seeing him pony racing a few years back, and being very impressed then!

 

[tallyho!]

Good horse too!

That is seriously impressive! What a jockey!
I remember a similar half-remount at an indoor xc competiton, a little girl on a tiny pony slid over his neck when he put in a stop and she just clung on like a monkey! She had her arms and legs wrapped round his neck, bless him the pony just stood there whilst she clambered back on - I have no idea how she managed it - everyone was shouting to hang on, and she got a huge well deserved cheer for her gigantic effort!
