Odd photograph, no?

This horse was in a similar position to Bodemeister at the Kentucky Derby this weekend; he had a five length lead 40 yards from the wire. And then...And then, Devon Loch did a belly-smacker.  Inexplicably, to this day inexplicably, Devon Loch did...that. It happened at England's Grand National in 1956. Damndest thing I ever heard of.
