Sam Twiston-Davies dragged his fellow rider Tom Scudamore to safety and helped disentangle horses after late tumble
Let us take a moment this morning to praise the quick thinking and will to help of Sam Twiston-Davies, whose actions in the last race at Exeter on Tuesday averted potential injuries to a fellow rider and to two horses. Riding Just So Cool, Twiston-Davies was brought down when in contention at the third-last by the fall of Airton and the risk was immediately clear, because the two horses became entangled with each other and their reins, while one landed on top of Airton’s jockey, Tom Scudamore.
Seriously, how brilliant is this from @samtwiston!?
