What’s the context here, it’s in no way a good photo so I assume that’s the reason.

There’s a story told in the book Seabiscuit about a horse race in the early 30s, tje point was to explain how athletic the jockeys were,
A guy fell off his horse and another jockey caught him one handed before he landed, he tried to throw him back on the saddle but he flung him right over it, a jockey on the other side caught him one handed and threw him back onto the saddle
Didn’t he go away and win the race

One for the owl yarns thread.

I have a VHS tape of that match at home. Used to watch it a lot as a young-fella. Could nearly tell you every score
