Three horses across the track reaching for the wire as the roar of the crowd rises to the heights.
A horse rose close upon him, and in another moment, half rising, he had been borne down under the horse's hoofs.
Then Monkey John's horse lay down and could not rise, no matter how hard they beat him.
Creeping nearer he saw that the horse could not rise because one of its legs was broken.
The problem came when horse and rider could rise no higher and had to be got down.
He sat very still as the horse rose beneath him.
He reined up, the horse rising and kicking the air.
As his horse rose Jack screwed round to see how the girl would get over, and the gelding instantly felt this change of balance.
Although many horses never rise above claiming races, some do.
No better horse will ever rise out of the ground and live again.
