Jockey Blake Shinn ends race on bum note as trousers fall down to reveal rear end
Jockey Blake Shinn rode his pants off in the opening race of a meeting in Sydney. Literally.
The 27-year-old bared all to those at the Hyland Race Colours Plate in Canterbury, Austalia as he attempted to ride Miss Royale to victory.
During the final turn in Race 1, Shinn stood up on his horse to gain momentum as he tried to overtake leader Tommy Berry with the finishing line in sight.
'I was more worried about winning the race. They [the pants] went just after the start and there was nothing I could do,' he said afterwards.
'I think a lot of people are going to have a bit of fun with this, but they can't say I wasn't focused and went to the line.'
Acting chief steward Greg Rudolph said he had never seen anything like it in his time in racing.
'He needed a belt at the 200-metre mark,' Rudolph said. 'We usually report gear malfunctions, but we are leaving that one alone,' Mr Rudolph said, according to Fairfax Media.
Unfortunately for the champion jockey, he wasn't able to win the race, but he proved once and for all he always has a crack.
Shinn plans to put his silks up for auction with proceeds going to charity.
