Everyone's talking about Might Bite following that incredibly dramatic finish at Cheltenham.
How the hell did Might Bite manage to do that?
The NJ Henderson trained horse was galloping away with the 2:10 RSA Novices' Chase heading into the final straight.
After jumping well throughout the duration of the race, amassing a serious lead over the rest of the field. Then, directly after a bad jump at he final fence, things began to head south fast.
The horse began swerving towards the right up the hill and was overtaken by a jockeyless horse, quickly followed by stablemate Whisper.
With Whisper speeding towards the finish and Might Bite losing a lot of ground, it looked like the race had been completely thrown away. However, it's not over until it's over.
Somehow, the horse dug deep and managed to pull it out of the bag by the narrowest of margins to claim a dramatic photo finish win.
