Watch absolutely brutal moment jockey’s heart breaks as he is stripped of win while celebrating
THIS is the absolutely brutal moment you can see a jockey’s heart break when he’s stripped of victory while celebrating.
Poor old Calvin Habib thought he had landed a 25-1 shock on Rock The Fox at Greyville racecourse in South Africa.
TV cameras captured the rider beaming with pride after he thought he had guided the longshot to a Grade 1 victory worth £14,481.
But just as he was soaking it all in, a racecourse worker walks up, removes the winning sash from the horse and puts it round the neck of a nearby rival.
Turns out Habib had finished second by a nose to 10-1 Canadian Summer.
The real winning jockey Jason Gates somewhat awkwardly accepted the sash and discreetly celebrated with connections after Habib’s howler.
A stunned Sky Sports Racing host calling the action said: “Calvin was celebrating on Rock The Fox like he had been declared the winner.
“They even put the winner’s sash on him.

There’s a reason why bus seats always have garish patterns, and it’s absolutely disgusting
UNLESS you’re lucky enough to have your own chauffeur the likelihood is that you have travelled by bus before.
And unless you were engrossed in a particularly good book it is hard to avoid the garish patterns that cover the seats on almost every bus.
Ever wondered why the patterns on the bus seats are so garish? Well there’s a very good reason[/caption]
While the design choice may seem a little… er, dated, there is apparently a very good reason for the busy print.
According to LadBible the bus seats are designed using “complex mind-reading algorithms” that cause our brains to become distracted by the busy patterns.
What are they distracting you from? Well the answer is quite simple (and gross.)
The patterns are designed to be this busy so that passengers don’t notice just how mucky the seats really are.
on Transport
With hundreds of passengers riding the bus each day, stains and spills are inevitable but far less visible on a fabric that isn’t plain.
But that isn’t the only reason.
You may have noticed that bus seats have a rather odd, almost carpet-like texture and this serves a purpose too.
Harriet Wallace-Jones, co-founder of Wallace Sewell – the design studio that designs fabrics for Transport for London, says that wool is “naturally flame retardant, and moquette is a pile fabric which has more durability than a flat woven cloth.

“The fabric is usually a mix of cut and uncut pile, which also makes it more durable.”
So there you have it – might be worth washing your hands next time you get off the bus.
