Fans have hailed Charlie Deutsch's "unbelievable" final win of his career best season.
The jockey appeared to have no chance on Burrows Park in a race at Chepstow on Friday. Trained by his boss Venetia Williams, the ten-year-old became detached in the early stages of the Braceys Handicap Hurdle.
A slow jump at the very first flight meant Deutsch was playing catch-up on the experienced handicapper. The rest of the seven runners were well bunched as Burrows Park continued – and he was even out of the wide camera shot as they approached the fourth flight. But from the unpromising position, Deutsch did not panic, gently nudging his mount along as they went out on the final circuit. Down the back straight the pair were still in last place.
