A SEAGULL RAN ran two horses close in a British race when he flew in front of the finish line camera judging a photo-finish.
The incident happened at the English south coast venue of Brighton when the photo-finish print showed the bird swooping across Jewelled, who was declared the winner, and Sagesse in second.
“We are about a mile and a half from the sea, and there are a lot of seagulls around, but this has never happened before as far as we are aware,” racecourse spokesman George Hill told the BBC.
