Something to smile about for a change.
Rookie jockey forgets to put foot in stirrup and starts to fall off as the horse leaves the gate. The rest was hilarious to watch – although there’s no video of it.
After jumping a rail and hedge alongside the chute that leads to the main track, the 3-year-old gelding trained by Peter Miller galloped away in the area east of the show horse arena and satellite wagering facility. Miller said Monday it took at least 20 minutes to catch Wild Verse and return him to the barn.
Think he’ll remember to do it in the future?
