Jockey survives wild bucking horse at Waikato race

During a race in New Zealand, a horse named Sunrain Sailing caused a stir with its unexpected bucking behavior. Jockey Corey Wiles had an impressive struggle to stay on as the four-year-old mare twisted and jerked down the track at Matamata. Many viewers were amazed by Wiles' ability to maintain his balance while Sunrain Sailing fell far behind the other horses. Fans reacted with humor, expressing their disbelief at the wild scene. One joked, "Must’ve had my money on it!” while another lamented about a possible betting mistake. Race commentators were equally surprised. They noted the horse's wild antics, saying it was more like a rodeo than a race. "It has no intention of galloping," one commentator remarked, praising Wiles for holding on tightly. Comments online speculated about what may have caused the horse's odd behavior. Some suggested that the saddle might have slipped, which led to Sunrain Sailing's reaction. Others playfully noted that the horse might have been influenced by watching too much TV. Despite the chaos, Wiles received a lot of compliments for his horsemanship. However, it was clear that Sunrain Sailing finished last in the race, after a memorable performance that left a lasting impression on the audience.
