The viral video also shows the two jockeys locked in an intense battle just a few meters away from the finish line. Francois, one of the jockeys, wearing a yellow helmet, maintains a consistent lead.?
However, when the jockey in the second position draws closer, his dark brown horse tries to bite Francois¡¯ arm. However, Francois is seen uninterrupted by the whole thing pulled ahead by his three-year-old horse, Lucky.?
Watch the video here:
Finally, Francois wins the race without any injuries. ¡°It was a pretty strange sensation because the filly came alongside and then ducked her head at me while in full flight. It was quite amazing. We watched the race back with the stewards and you can see she has me by the arm three times ¨C it was pretty funny to see,¡± Francois was quoted by Daily Mail.
¡°My filly didn't flinch or break stride but she was quite surprised and didn't understand exactly what had happened. You could say we were as shocked as each other,¡± he added.
