Salsify wins Foxhunter Chase after dramatic Cheltenham finish
SALSIFY won the Foxhunter Chase in dramatic fashion after Oscar Delta unseated its rider.
The last race of the Cheltenham Festival looked set to be a two-horse battle between Salsify and Oscar Delta but the latter threw off jockey Jane Mangan on the run-in to the line after veering towards the rails.
The door was left wide open for 2-1 favourite Salsify, under Colm Sweeney, to cruise home.
Distraught Mangan said: "I felt like I had the race won. This is a nightmare."
The 50-1 Divine Intavention was second, Cottage Oak came home third and Doctor Kingsley was fourth.
