The owner of a long odds-on favourite has apologised after his horse lost its rider after clearing the last fence with victory apparently in the bag.
Telhimlisten was sent off at odds of 2-9 to record his fifth success of the month in a two-runner novices’ handicap chase at Sedgefield on Thursday.
He had pulled eight lengths clear of Grey Skies coming to the last but although jumping the fence, he jinked strides later, unbalancing his jockey Sean Quinlan who fell to the turf.
