'Easiest win ever' sparks uproar as apprentice jockeys suffer collective nightmare in truly bizarre horse race

Punters were amazed by the size of lead that the pair had when they ran out of the gates and got away from their rivals. The crazy scenes came in the 4.40 at Nottingham in 'Hands N Heels' Apprentice Handicap.

Rose Dawes rode Storm Chaser to victory in the Apprentice Handicap at Nottingham. The horse was sent off as the second favourite. She had the widest draw of all in gate seven. She and Dawe took a five-length lead at the first turn.
