Full marks to
Trackside Photography for snapping this pic of Rad winning a Maiden at Port
Macquarie last Friday.
A $1.80 favourite,
Rad was well clear of rivals near the wire, yet produced this leap worthy of a
Grand National performer.
Jockey
Andrew Gibbons had a feeling something was about to happen as they approached
the post: “I felt over the last 50 metres he was having a bit of a look at the
winning post but I thought he might step out away from it … I put the whip
away, gave him a dig, and the next thing he’s launched at it. Because he went
straight it was okay but if he’d have jumped and shied at the same time I might
have had a problem.
“He was
pretty smooth actually. It made for a great shot and it will probably make it
into my living room.”
Not to
mention a few Facebook pages!
