Horse racing farce sees jockeys take two different routes and leave commentator in bits

dailystar.co.uk:

horse race in France became something of a circus as riders splintered off into two groups and began following different routes - leaving the baffled commentator in stitches.As the six jockeys rounded a turn at Fontainebleau on Friday morning, four of them hugged the inside track while the other two stayed on the outside, and within seconds were jumping over separate fences and racing different routes.Initially Sky Sports commentator Ian Bartlett did his best to keep his composure, but couldn't help but see the funny side as both groups thundered down the track beside one another."Fair play to whichever bunch is wrong, because they're determined they're wrong aren't they?" Bartlett said, as all six jockeys stuck to their guns and refused to switch lanes.After jumping four separate fences the group eventually synched up again, with no one quite sure who was in the wrong."They've all sort of merged into one group now but you know hold all your tickets because Lord alone knows what the stewards will make of this and what eventually will win this race," a giggling Bartlett added, shortly after spotting a groundsman who had to run for cover due to the confusion.What's the craziest thing you've ever seen happen at the races?

Let us know in the comments section.After the race, it turned out that four jockeys who chose to run on the inside were in the right, and the two riders on the outside were disqualified."Fair play to Ian Bartlett," one fan tweeted, "I would have had to turn off my mic trying to keep up.""Not a great sign if even the commentator isn’t sure on what’s the right course," tweeted another..
