Sam Waley-Cohen was aboard Long Run in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham today. After his ride jumped the second last fence, Waley-Cohen's whip slipped from his grasp. That didn't slow him down though as he showed some fantastic dexterity to put his hand behind his back, catch the whip again and continue riding without missing a beat.

Long Run and his rider would finish second in the race behind favourite Sir Des Champs.
Could this be the first ever horse racing GIF? It's certainly the first one we've ever made.
