Medics heroically saved a man's life on the racecourse when he suffered a heart attack celebrating a winner.
Neil Buckman collapsed after seeing a horse he part-owns, Shouldvebeenaring, race clear of the opposition at Ripon on Sunday. The pensioner, from Cheltenham, ran onto the track to welcome the Richard Hannon-trained horse back to winners' enclosure. Moments later, Buckman keeled over and the on-course medical team rushed to his aid.
Tim Palin, spokesperson for the horse's syndicate Middleham Park Racing, said the racing fan had to be resuscitated and paramedics worked on him for around 20 minutes.
