I woke up this morning and said, “Isaac, you are not going to post about a jockey losing his pants and mooning thousands of people.” Well, here I am, and here you are watching the video.
That’s Australian jockey Blake Shinn with the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while riding Miss Royale at Canterbury. Shinn and his pale white derriere finished in second.
“I was more worried about winning the race. They [the pants] went just after the start and there was nothing I could do,” Shinn said. “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.”
The horse that finished behind Miss Royale was named “Modesty.” You can’t make this stuff up.
