SARGA.CO – An unusual moment in England has gone viral after a jockey was nearly thrown off his horse and appeared to “skate” across the track during a race. The video spread quickly on social media, drawing reactions from around the world — including Indonesia.
The incident happened to professional jockey Kevin Nabet, who was riding a horse named Lord Brett. The situation unfolded as they approached the final hurdle.
According to The Scottish Sun, Lord Brett made a jump that was slightly too powerful, causing Nabet’s body to be pushed forward, nearly knocking him off balance.
For a few seconds, he was left hanging, with his legs dragging along the ground.
His effort to maintain balance — with his body stretched out as he tried to stay upright — made many viewers say it looked like he was performing an ice-skating move in the middle of a horse race.
The moment was clearly captured in a video posted by the horse racing account At The Races. In the footage, Nabet can be seen desperately trying to climb back onto the saddle while Lord Brett continues to gallop at full speed.
His attempt failed, and he eventually fell onto the grass. Lord Brett kept running without a jockey.
Indonesian netizens—known for their playful humor—didn’t miss the chance to comment. From the perspective of Indonesian viewers, the incident looked like a mix of a serious mishap with a touch of situational comedy.
Fortunately, local media reports mentioned that Nabet did not suffer any serious injuries.
The incident is another reminder that horse racing is a high-risk sport where things can go wrong in a split second, even for seasoned jockeys.
As of now, the video continues to circulate across platforms and has become one of the most talked-about horse racing moments of the week.
