Richie Mclernon

was a nasty Fall

yep

He walked back to the unsaddling enclosure, had a long debrief with connections, gave the horse a pat (I wouldn't have), and trotted back to the weighing room with a grin on his face.

They're extraordinary, when you think about it.

On Racing Replay the head on shows him sitting up, conscious. Basically looking around to see if anyone is going to help get the horse off him! Live it looked like it rolled up his legs, on to his upper body whilst he was lying on his side. Small miracle he did not do a leg or pelvis (or both). Heavily rain softened ground to thank in part, I suspect. Great that they both walked away.
