A horseracing spectator has been banned from the sport for life after he jumped onto the track at Leicester and attempted to race the horses.
The incident occurred inside the final furlong of the Cream Gorse Handicap yesterday afternoon and how the idiot in question thought that running out onto a live racetrack was a good idea is beyond us… According to Sky News the clerk of the course, Jimmy Stevenson, said, "We've never had anything like that before, and hopefully we'll never have it happen again. "It was a moment of madness by a lunatic. Racecourses aren't football stadiums, they're open-plan, and we try to run the racecourse in a relaxed manner. "Security were on him straight away and obviously he'll be banned for life."Explore more on these topics:
