Have you ever seen anything like it!? Incredible scenes at Sandown as leader throws away certain win

One of the most dramatic turn of events that you will ever see on the track as What's The Scoop threw away certain victory at Sandown in March 2016 as the gelding veered off-course to hand the race on a plate to Starving Marvin.
The Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old was easing clear having jumped the last flight safely, but suddenly jinked sharply to his left under Barry Geraghty towards startled spectators.
Geraghty managed to correct his mount but the eventual winner had gone beyond recall and would go on to record a most fortuitous victory. Hear what the jockey had to say to Racing TV afterwards.

How did another jockey get the horse to do the same thing next time it ran- at Ascot. This time it veered violenrly left after it was well beaten. Why did the trainer get rid of the horse to Sue Smith if the fix was on and why did the horse need its official handicap mark to drop from 127 to 100 a long time later to finally win its first and only race victory. The only real fix was it being odds of 11/10 next time out when it clearly had its own ideas about the game. Why did Michael Buckley get rid of the horse without it ever going close to winning again. Answer is the horse had his own ideas and wasn't putting it all in.

That was hysterical once you figure it out. The horse thought the race was over. He didn't bolt but slowed to a crawl and went to what he thought was the exit, which is to the horses left. I say this because the horse stopped himself at the fence, and when he saw the other horse he took off. Ironically, if the race had been another 1/8 he would've passed him again. The horse wasn't hurt, just young. It isn't only jockeys who mistime a race. They may have to use blinders. The jockey said he kept looking at the crowd.

Somehow i recon Whats the scops training could have been a bit more through. The win was for the taking, and he could not handle such pressure.

It must have been matched at odds of 1.01 in running!

[@elastronaute1198]

it was... but horses are often matched at 1.01 and lose, because that is only 1/100, what is rarer is the one who won was matched for thousands at 1000.

This shit goes on I'm afraid. I backed a horse and the jockey literally and I mean literally jumped off the horse just before the finish line. Wtf ??

[@honesthumanoid]

I know exactly what you mean when you say they jump off the horse on purpose. I purposely bet on horses only to watch dumbass jockeys get injured skydiving off a horse. The idiots are orchestrating so many fixed matches it's hilarious.

[@HopeCreekConnemara]

That race is too long for that horse if he’s exhausted by the end of it as he clearly was.

[@lindajayneclark767]

[@guidododo4822]

[@pattykake7195]

Who put Orjan Kihlstrom on him? (Swedish harness racing driver, who is acting like Dettori)

[@mynxd2407]

Traded for £20,000 at 1/4 in running 💀💀💀😂😂😂😂 🤦🏽‍♂️

Some cd hv flashed a light gun or the reflection of some shinny object cd hv distracted the horse n on the technical argument the rider mislead the horse to think the race is over and she decided to head to the stands for winners welcome session!!!
