Exeter. Watch how jockey and horse work together to get the loose horse away from the jumps....first video shows the whole race, but the 2nd video shows the expert "moves" and how tractable Unexpected Party is as a horse, as his British Champion jump jockey Harry Skelton asks him to do what he does here (rodeo style, more obvious in 2nd video):
Even in flat racing, I always find it interesting how people will bet on a jockey, w/out realizing that sometimes, the best jockey doesn't really *fit* every horse, and it does matter.
