Forget ‘man bites dog’, in UK man head-butts horse!
“Mad jockey lands a ‘Zidane’ on racehorse quips” London’s Evening Standard.
“Aping a disgraced footballing idol” states Times Online
Pissed off that his horse, City Affair, would not follow his commands in the parade ring and probably suffering from a Napoleon complex to boot, jockey Paul O’Neill head-butted his horse in front of television cameras. Worse the pitiful little man was wearing his helmet as he did it. I wouldn’t blame the horse if he threw the tiny twerp the next time he tried to ride him. Hopefully next time O’Neill will act like a big man even if he isn’t one.
