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.

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.

The jockey caused that by dropping his hands and stop riding and let the horse coast home in his own time but the horse at that time thought he had already done enough to win and in a way pulled himself up the jockeys reigns feed straight to the horse to let the horse know what is required of him never of happened had he kept pushing the horse right up to the line

It’s not that the horses are exhausted. They run a bit slower to conserve energy. These jumps races can be long. You see it better when there are more than three horses in a race, there’s always a quickening after that last jump. Horses won’t run if they don’t want to.
