Riding the odds-on favourite at Cheltenham a young conditional jockey is well ahead of the field two out.
Suddenly he’s hit on the head by a turkey and a string of sausages.
He manages to keep control of his mount and the beast pulls back into the lead, only for the jockey to be struck by a box of Christmas crackers and a dozen mince pies as he goes over the last fence.
With great skill the youngster manages to steer the horse to the front of the field once more when, at the start of the run in, he’s struck on the head by a bottle of sherry and a Christmas pudding.
He heaves himself back into the saddle and rouses his mount for one final effort up the hill but he succeeds only in coming second.
Upon dismounting he immediately goes to the stewards to complain that he had been seriously hampered.
