Champion horse Think About It suffered a catastrophic internal haemorrhage during the running of the Sydney Stakes in Australia on Saturday
This is the incredible moment a quick-thinking jockey dived in to help his horse after it collapsed mid-race in Australia .
Collett is seen in footage running to hold the horse's head as the rest of the pack bolt towards the finish line. A screen was brought out to block the distressing scene from the view of the packed crowd, which is often a certain sign the horse is about to be euthanised. The horse was then walked from the track back to his box, where a veterinary assessment revealed the severity of the heart issue.
'I am so happy to see him this morning. I can't even believe he doesn't even seem to be sore from the tumble. He rolled over and at speed, they're going about 60km/h.' Jockey Jason Collett has been praised for his bravery after his mount crashed to the turf at the Sydney Stakes at Randwick last Saturday
