Sean Quinlan riding the 2/9 favourite, Telhimlisten, in the two runner Sedgefield 1.40, appears to have somehow got unbalanced, after the last and on the run in, to the extent that he has had to dive off the horse. Telhimlisten was matched by the fast finger merchants at 1.01 to £14K and the eventual winner was matched all the way up to 1,000!
Yeah looked a dive to me
He didn't look like he lost an iron but sometimes jockeys dive when they are unbalanced and know that they are going to fall off just to avoid getting tangled up and/or dragged under the horse. It didn't look like the horse veered in a way that a jockey as experienced as Quinlan couldn't handle ether. It's always going to look worse in a two runner race with a massive odds on shot that is 10 lengths clear after the last though.

A nice 13,700 quid payday for whoever put that on.
Gorgeous sunny day and off to Fontwell today. Any tips gratefully received
Not tips but these are horses that I have backed at Fontwell:
2.00 Double Clicked @ 7/2 2.30 Shaws Cross @ 4/1 3.00 Millies Mite @ 10/1 3.30 San Pedro De Senam @ 9/1
Hope you have a great day
Double Click ended my placepot on Race 1 lol
Apologies. Wasn't good enough but really not sure why Gavin Sheehan took the horse on the scenic route when the first two went on the inside all the way round.
The only consolation with going out of the Placepot is that with the first two in the market finishing 1,2 there will have to be some real shocks to pay anything.
Never let it be said that Irish racing is monopolised by two or three trainers - Willie Mullins has won 8 of the 14 races so far in Ireland today and has just had the first 6 (and only finishers) in a Grade 1 Novice Chase at Fairyhouse

Bravemansgame was ruled out of Thursday's Aintree Bowl Chase on Wednesday evening following an intervention by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) prohibiting him from taking part.
The Paul Nicholls-trained runner was due to compete under the sole ownership of Bryan Drew after John Dance was removed as joint-owner on Tuesday when his company, WealthTek LLP, was placed in special administration by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The BHA released a statement on Wednesday evening which read: "In light of new information, including a court order, provided to the BHA on Wednesday 12 April by the Financial Conduct Authority Bravemansgame is no longer able to take part in the race and has been withdrawn.
"The BHA will continue to liaise with the FCA and other affected parties."
The King George winner was a short-priced favourite to take on A Plus Tard and Shishkin on what would have been his first start since chasing home Galopin Des Champs in the Gold Cup last month.
His absence leaves Nicholls without a runner and just five left in contention for the 3m1f chase which headlines the opening day of the Grand National meeting.
Dance's company WealthTek, which also has the trading names of Malloch Melville and Vertem Asset Management, was ordered to stop all regulated activity on Tuesday of last week. Special administrators were ordered in last Thursday following the discovery of "serious regulatory and operational issues" by the FCA, the financial watchdog.
In a fresh statement on its website, the FCA said: "The FCA has taken various steps to protect consumers following serious regulatory and operational issues coming to light. The FCA is in close contact with the Joint Special Administrators and further information will be made available by them in due course."
Nicholls was approached by the Racing Post on Wednesday evening but declined to comment.
This follows the intervention of the BHA to a race at Exeter today where they withdrew Aces Full two minutes before he was due to take part in the novice handicap chase.
The stewards ordered the horse to be withdrawn following a request from the BHA’s integrity department to interview connections.
Aces Full had been off the track since being pulled up last October but attracted strong support during the morning, being cut from 14-1 to 9-4.
Curran said: “I am shocked and flabbergasted at what has happened and I don’t know why it’s been done. As far as I know I have not broken any rules. The horse is owned by my cousin Joe English but has been leased to me.
“He runs under my other name John Curran and I pay all the entry fees and jockey fees. It’s strange that there was no problem when he ran under my name last time and it makes me think the BHA has just taken action this time because the bookmakers have been concerned about the gamble.
“I have put a lot of work into this horse and all that time and money has been wasted now. I thought he would win today, although I was a little concerned by the horrible weather at Exeter.
“Joe would have backed the horse I'm sure, but he’s retired so I don’t believe he would have had a lot of money on. We are not a big stable and we need winners like this to make ends meet.”
At the request of the integrity department the stewards had asked the trainer to provide information regarding the selection of the race for the gelding, their expectations and the riding instructions.
Mark Scully, a spokesman for the BHA, said: “We are unable to provide any further details on this matter at the present time.”
Stewards declared that it was accidental and no further action taken.
Jockey in the yellow (Gregory) deserved a long ban i m o .. looks to me that he deliberately tried to push the other fella too wide to take the hurdle, dangerous riding at best
Not long enough. Does he really think that the handicapper would have been fooled had it won by a nose, half a length or even five lengths? It's the ease of victory that dictates not distance. Jockeys would soon stop showboating like that if they had to pay for all the losing bets.

Cheers for posting that @iaitch

I think that's called a monopoly. No Michael O'Leary runners either. Shame.
