An unruly racehorse had to be rescued from a canal after dumping her jockey and escaping from the racecourse to take a dip in the water.
Princess Lunar splashed into the water up to her knees but was recovered uninjured by race starter Kenny Watson who stripped down to his boxer shorts to wade out to fetch the errant filly.
The unusual incident occurred after the four-year-old dislodged jockey Tegan Harrison almost as soon as she entered the track during the meeting at Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia on Saturday.
