A teenage jockey narrowly avoided being trampled by racehorses while he was running around the track.
Evan Daly was reprimanded by the heads of horse racing after the 18-year-old pbaded unconsciously in front of a pack of oncoming horses in Navan, Ireland.
The 18-year-old, dressed in a tracksuit, was prepared before a race later in the competition when he left running on the track.
But with his headphones in his ears, he did not realize that a race was taking place.
When the horses entered the backstretch, Daly could be spotted just in front of the field until we realized how close the runners were and that he was moving quickly to his right to free himself.
At the last moment, he notices the horses running in his direction before he manages to get out of the way incredibly.
The 7-pound applicant was summoned before the stewards and told the board that he was wearing headphones and that he had not realized that the horses were behind him before the last minute.
The Galway County jockey was immediately warned by stewards stunned on the course.
"The stewards asked why ET Daly, the driver, was running on the starting line in the straight during the race," an official report said.
"Evidence was heard by the concerned rider who apologized for what had happened.
"After reviewing all the evidence, the stewards recommended the rider to be more careful on his next run."
According to a report from the BBC, it is believed that rookie Daly is simply deceived with regard to the schedule.
Jockeys often jog around the track to get an idea of the conditions or lose weight before the races.
Fortunately, Daly had a chance to escape. Meanwhile, the three-mile third year was won by Aramon, coached by Willie Mullins.
