WATCH: Jack Kennedy has a rival for recovery of the year

In the space of four days.

Just when Jack Kennedy thought he was nailed on to win ride of the year after his trojan-like recovery aboard Robin Des Mana in Clonmel on Thursday afternoon, Tony Kelly has gone and matched him. The Kerryman somehow regained composure after his mount made a mistake at the fourth fence of the race, before going on to win in the midweek meeting. Riding Captain Mowbray in the 1.20 Jigsaw Sports Branding Chase in Wetherby on Saturday, Kelly performed a recovery of similar ilk. The Rebecca Menzies trained charge completely misjudged the penultimate flight of the 3-mile chase, nodded on landing and sent Kelly tumbling down her side. He somehow clung on around her neck in an incredible display of horsemanship, before recovering his position in the saddle. He desperately kicked his legs to find his stirrups, just in time to ready himself for the final flight. The horse under him made a better attempt at that obstacle than the one before, had plenty in reserve and galloped up the Wetherby run in to take victory. Anyone who had money down on the 9/2 shot owes that man a pint. https://twitter.com/Racing_UK/status/939488720851410944 By God.
