[@Rebeljustforkicks]

Always a good sight to see...giving hope to all who love their racing but have limited means at their disposal.

[@cdr92663]

I love that he lives in a field!

[@Grudeman408]

I love this fella 😀 lovely horse 👍

[@petergardiner1073]

wow what a great trainer that lady is, i used to train horses and its not easy to work them out at times, she is very kind and patience

[@stephenholmes1036]

John Bridger is good with funny horses

[@kathleenkaufmann2084]

He doesn't like to be bored!! :D Too damned smart for his own good!

[@beckyhawkins3941]

Complete credit to John and Rachel. Always have been sensitive to the individual needs of all their horses in training. Such a lovely family too.

[@joejoejoe4577]

Great story.

[@jaymuller6004]

I've watched this race over 35 times.... What a lovely ride, the horse seemed beaten but fought on bravely !!! This horse has natural talent and will win some BIG RACES !!

[@markperryman2311]

Could be another 'SEABISCUIT' given the key to opening his mind properly.....🐴

[@JimmyKehoe-m2y]

All good race horses have kink.

[@frankcrowe4375]

This is what racing is all about. After a while all the rich, corporate owners are boring. You can't beat folk who keep the horses happy!

[@GerryMcglynn]

Ditto 😅

[@lestercharles8522]

For sure. Nothing better than a good underdog story

[@KeithQuirk-o5b]

❤imperial cult . Lets get this fan club started ❤

[@Kevjohno]

[@kimcentofanti2694]

Excellent work!!

"All I do is win win win no matter what!!"

[@KeithQuirk-o5b]

He is my new favorite horse . Just behind city of troy❤😊

[@vintagelady1]

Love the quirky ones, horses or dogs or people, so much more interesting & they know what they need---it's up to the trainers to find out, make the adjustments, & voila, a winner!

[@stephenholmes1036]

Not always, Ubedizzy and Remittance man absolute savages

[@jodie4609]

Ive never seen an actual increase in speed while watching a horse race. that was incredible

[@user-uf6gc1nd7e]

Reminds me of mad moose over jumps...id always back that one despite not wanting to run lol

[@august-first-2025]

Lucky to have the other horse right beside him in the stretch.

[@kamboxer2151]

No surprise there it was favourite 😂

[@ozbolli]

[@ArshadIqbal-x8m]

Imperial cult + Gina good race

[@eugenekeher978]

Idiosyncratic , charismatic , talented , quirky all the ingredients of a Dick Francis novel in reality .

[@stephenholmes1036]

He reminds me of Ubedizzy, i hope his temper is better

[@EnjoytheQ.]

That’s hilarious

[@Horsespurses]

Exactly. Someone needs to let Serpentine s owner that he likes to run Alone.

[@RickySpanish-t6t]

😂 Thursday got robbed...

[@robertbrandywine]

Why do they switch between sitting, a crouch, and standing in the stirrups?

[@cornet959]

His parental grandsire is: Sea The Stars

[@AndrewStack-lr9fv]

He's the lot nobody wants to be on in the morning

[@onion6foot]

How do you work him out in "the woods"?

[@pixie706]

A lot of planted woodlands have broad grassy firebreak rides which are often kept mown . Possibly they use those.

[@vimtocrazy739]

Seems a bit of a handful.

[@greentombdive]

In the duel to the line watch how, in comparison to the loser, the winner’s neck really lengthened - he wanted it. Meanwhile, his classy name tells you something about his owners. All round good crack.

[@timoverington5177]

That one would have kept your arse cheeks together if you had your £ on him……

[@equestanton1017]

He's gorgeous, lovely lengh of rein, just beutifull head, what a pity the jocky decided to whack him with the whip for his efforts. When will this sanctioned brutality stop I wonder. The trainer sounds sympathetic, working with the horse rather than using force in his training. We can only hope he has a decent career after racing and he finishes sound instead of broken. He would make a lovely riding horse. Wonder what happened to his mane, looks like somethings been having a go at it.
