A JOCKEY’S amazing winning ride was branded ‘pointless and risky’ by a racing legend – after it almost came back to bite him.
The Sam Thomas-trained C’Est Different had been hammered in his first four runs for owner Dai Walters, finishing nowhere near the winner.
But he looked a totally different beast upped in trip for a 2m3½f handicap hurdle at Carlisle on Monday.

Scooting clear under 3lb claimer Dylan Johnston, he was eight lengths ahead and going easily by the final flight.
It was then Johnson took his foot off the gas and allowed the horse to coast home – with almost disastrous consequences.
C’Est Different was eased completely as the post approached – and 9-1 Wee Alki made rapid headway under Jack Power.
For a second it looked like the unthinkable was going to happen.
And Johnston himself was surely worried as he was forced to give the well-punted 5-2 fav one nudge near the line to win by a quickly-closing three-quarters of a length.
It could have been a very different story – and Johnston would have been hit with a huge ban for failing to ride out.
As it was, the victory stood and it was Thomas who explained to stewards the ‘gelding may have benefitted from the step up in trip from 2m to 2m4f in a weaker race.”
Racing TV said the ride was ‘ever so cheeky’, but commentating legend Jim McGrath saw it differently.
He posted under a clip of the ride: “Pointless and risky.”
Explaining the ride, Johnston said: “The horse has run off the first mark he’s been given – and this race is a hell of a lot different than running against the likes of Diva Luna.
“It worked today but he has to improve again.
“We didn’t know if stepping up in trip would work – we stepped him up because he wasn’t running well enough over 2m!
“He had done his work and he’s still a big baby and pulled up a bit quicker than I thought he would.”
Not everyone was buying it, though.
One punter wrote: “There’s absolutely no need for it. Just get the horse home.
“If that ends the other way then he’d rightfully get all the flack in the world.”
And another said: “It’s not cheeky,it’s ridiculous and should be called out.”

LISBON was struck by a 4.7 magnitude earthquake just moments before a Benfica press conference took place on Monday.
Head coach Bruno Lage was about to address the media in preparation for his team’s Champions League play-off second leg against Monaco when the earthquake hit.
Before he took to his chair, the whole room started to shake.
The moment was caught on camera by CNN Portugal just moments prior to the start of the conference.
Once the commotion had subsided, Lage spoke to the media as planned.
Discussing his experience of the earthquake, he said: “If I tell you what I said to my assistant Lemos…
“We were climbing the stairs when we heard a noise. I mentioned that we needed to fix the glass door in front of us.
“It was only after I got here that I realised what had actually happened.”
Benfica go into Wednesday’s match against Monaco with a 1-0 advantage.
Vangelis Pavlidis scored the decisive goal in the first leg at Stade Louis II last week.
Should they beat Monaco on aggregate, Benfica will face either Liverpool or Barcelona in the last-16 of the Champions League.
The earthquake struck Portugal at around 1:24pm local time on Monday afternoon.
Its epicentre was recorded around 14 kilometres from Seixal, in the district of Setúbal, and was felt in several places in Greater Lisbon.
The shockwaves were felt at maximum intensity in the municipalities of Almada and Sesimbra.
VOGUE Williams and Spencer Matthews are selling up her luxurious London pad for £4.7million.
The married couple are trading Chelsea for a quieter life in Vogue’s native Ireland, but are struggling to flog the mansion in the heart of London.
Initially putting it up for sale for £5.25million a year ago, the four bedroom property is still yet to sell despite the stunning amenities.
The intricately decorated house includes two huge reception rooms, a private roof garden/terrace, a bar, home gym and in-house cinema/media room.
The primary bedroom comes with an en-suite, with two more bathrooms throughout the house.
Putting the property onto RightMove, fans can get a look into the property, which is the perfect blend of clean white decor but pops of colour in the furnishings and wall art.
But as TikTokers started posting the property, fans couldnt help but notice one “annoying” detail they couldn’t quite get over.
In the open plan kitchen, which leads straight out onto the terrace, a string of Vogue Magazine posters hang over the kitchen tops – though fans couldn’t help but notice they were all slightly wonky.
TikToker HousingHorrors – which usually details the bizarre and pricey housing listings up for sale – broke with his usual hunt to detail Vogue’s house, joking that “rich people own air fryers” and complimenting the interior design of the house.
He also shared pictures of the family’s massive walk-in wardrobe, and the kids bedrooms.
Irish star Vogue and British-born Spencer have always had homes in both Ireland and London, with a third property in Jersey.
However they decided to sell this home last year in order to invest in a bigger Irish home for their three children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto – to grow up in.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, spoke about life in the Matthews’ household on their podcast, but Spencer quit the show at the beginning of this year in order to focus on other business interests and his newfound love of endurance challenges.
Last year, Spencer completed a massive feat of taking on 30 desert marathons in 30 days.
He told us how extreme exercise has saved his marriage and his life, with him also completely cutting out alcohol after it left him ‘unrecognisable’.
Amber Wilson, Vogue’s sister, is taking over for Spencer, and the show will now be renamed Vogue and Amber.
A THRILL seekers dream rollercoaster is set to open this year.
In Saudi Arabia, Six Flags theme park is set to open this year and with it, the tallest, fastest and longest rollercoaster in the world.
The Six Flags theme park – which has been under construction since 2019 – will form part of Qiddiya City, a 376 square kilometre entertainment and sports hub in Saudi Arabia.
One of the big attractions set to bring in rollercoaster fans is the Six Flags Theme Park which will have 28 rides in total.
The main and most talked about is the terrifying Falcon’s Flight rollercoaster – which once opened will be the tallest, fastest and longest of its kind.
The ride will be over thirteen thousand feet long, at its peak height it will stand at 639 feet tall.
As for the thrills, the top speed of Falcon’s Flight will be 155.3 mph, and the tallest drop will be from 519 feet over the side of a hill.
Fourteen riders can experience Falcon’s Flight at a time and thanks to its speed and the desert environment, the trains will have curved windshields to protect riders from sand.
There have been mixed views from rollercoaster enthusiasts with some saying they “need to ride” it, with others branding it “ridiculous”.
Currently, the fastest rollercoaster in the world is the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi that reached speeds of 149.1 mph.
The tallest rollercoaster, since the closure of Kingda Ka that stood at 456 feet, is the Superman: Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain standing at 415 feet.
Six Flags is set to open in ‘late 2025’ with an exact date still to be confirmed.
The record-breaking rollercoaster isn’t the only unique attraction Qiddiya City will be opening – they are also set to reveal the most unique racing circuit.
Speed Park is set to open in 2027, and the plan is that the track will eventually host the country’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The daring track has been designed by racing drivers and has the very first elevated track corner which is 70-metres high – the equivalent of a 20-storey building.
It won’t be just the professionals that get to whizz around the track, they will regularly host open days so that motorsport enthusiasts can have a go.
The Aquarabia water park will also be part of the complex – and will be the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.
There will be eight themed zones inspired by the wildlife found in Saudi, for example Camel Rock and Viper Canyon.
Inside the water park will be 22 rides, a surf pool, water coaster and slides.
Aquarabia will become home to the world’s tallest water coaster in the land of Junoon Drop. It will have a 138 foot drop and include a twisty flume with an 180-degree turn.
You can also do water sport activities, kayaking, rafting, canyoneering and cliff jumping.
There’s another theme park set to open in the Middle East called The Land of Legends which is set to open in 2028.
This incredible floating theme park called ‘The Rig’ is being built on an old oil rig in Saudi Arabia.
The Red Force rollercoaster has speeds of over 100 mph...
The Red Force rollercoaster at the Ferrari Land amusement park near Barcelona used to be number four on the list but has quietly risen through the ranks to secure the top spot.
It’s now one of the world’s tallest and fastest rollercoasters and has a whopping top speed of 112mph.
The ruby-red ride is shaped like a top hat and stands at 112 metres tall. Each train, carrying 12 people in six rows of two, immediately accelerates from 0 to 112mph after leaving the station.
Red Force can accommodate as many as 1,200 passengers per hour.
