That is absolute gold.
Fantastic stuff.
The presenters’ comments after the race too were brilliant.
Nothing like riding with long stirrups.
Brilliant.
"Did you miss the winning post"? ? ?
"No, i just though i would do a salute on the way in".
Congratulations, Jeremy.
Just wish I could afford a copy of the annual to present it to you as a prize.

Without doubt a contender for the worst ever rider to win a horse race.
Still you have to give him a round of applause though and its always great to see the underdog rise to the top .
The bookies now make him 11-10 to become the new jockey at Ditcheat if Sam Thomas was to have a bad fall at the weekend and 6-5 to become Godolphins new stable jockey.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen on a racecourse in a long time – tears are rolling down my face (just like Nick Luck I’d say)!
A magnificent display. I loved evey yard after the last. Now if Anthony Knott should get himself a decent agent, he could well be the next Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards.

Is the legendary Duke of Albuquerque a contender too?
He rode with a bust shoulder and spent 3 days in a coma after the National and still came back for more.
Mr Knott does a better John Wayne than John Wayne.
Waving to the crowd?… I could have sworn I heard a few cracks.
Just watched the whole thing with the sound on this time
I agree with Mr Knott when he said the horse helped him out alot.
RFI comments- priceless!
"….who was last seen pulling up on his chasing debut over 3m2f, could be given a chance on his bumper win over the useful Psychomodo a long time ago, but there was nothing inrecent efforts to suggest he was about to win, even in this race. Given an ‘agricultural’ ride by his amateur jockey up the home straight, he got on top after the last and was edging clear before Mr Knott decided to wave to the crowd just over 100 yards out, something that punters who were on him probably could have done without seeing. Luckily for the jockey, who had not looked behind him, nothing was catching him quickly enough and he won with a bit in hand. However, it did not go unnoticed that he was giving his mount some reminders down the shoulder late on, for which he received a 7-day ban. That said, it was a momentous day in the life of the rider (it was his first winner after 28 years of trying) and it was great to see such pleasure taken in winning a race."
Congratulations, Jeremy.

Little honour in victory for me there, Colin – I had more tries at getting it right than owd Quixall!
