Well, this is just unprecedented.
On Thursday afternoon, the jockey Jack Kennedy demonstrated his incredible perseverance on the back of Robin Des Mana in Clonmel. Seemingly destined to hit that hard winter ground, Kennedy clung on and somehow managed to go on and actually win the race.
Now, another jockey in Tony Kelly has almost done the exact same thing.
Riding Captain Mowbray at Wetherby earlier this afternoon, a likely win became momentarily unlikely as Kelly was sent from his saddle after an unfortunate landing.
Clinging on, while simultaneously trying to re-position himself where he needed to be, Kelly didn't just avoid a potentially serious injury, he actually went on an won the race.
How this has happened twice in three days who knows? But what an incredible feat it is.
Watch Kelly's heroics below.
