Jockeyless horse left devastated after believing he had won big Cheltenham race

A horse that crossed the finish line first at today’s Sky Bet Supreme Novices hurdle at Cheltenham was left devastated after being told he did not win the race.

Al Capony lost his jockey Johnny McEvoy at the second fence during the big race but continued to run the full course, crossing the line a full 50 lengths ahead of Morning Star in second place.

However, horses that lose their jockeys are immediately disqualified and Morning Star was crowned the winner. Al Capony was furious after being told the news and said he was sure he had won.

“This is bullshit!” said Al. “Nobody told me anything about having to carry your jockey over the line. If I knew that I would’ve went back for the dopey little prick.”

Capony said he was back in his stable celebrating when he heard a commentator on the radio saying Paul Townend had just won the race on Morning Star.

“I thought I was hearing things. I mean seriously. It’s not fair. It’s called a horse race, not a horse and jockey race. I was so far ahead of Morning Star I almost lapped the c*nt.

“And what’s all this nonsense about Paul Townend winning the race? Did he run around the course jumping over fences while having his arse whipped? Did he f**k! A horse won the race. At least get that bit right. Humans are such dickheads!”
