Watch as horse trainer absolutely flattens mate WWE-style with bone-crunching Cheltenham celebration
THIS is the brilliant moment a winning horse trainer absolutely flattened a pal WWE-style with his bone-crunching celebration.
Syd Hosie went crazy as his horse Rock My Way won the Grade 2 Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham Trials Day last Saturday.
The 13-2 chance powered home from 5-4 fav Pembroke to win by a length-and-a-half to scoop the £28,475 prize.
It was the five-year-old gelding's first win having finished a close second to the highly promising Weveallbeencaught on his rules debut at huge odds of 66-1.
Dorset-based Hosie owns and trains the horse, who was cut to 25-1 for the Ballymore and Albert Bartlett at March's Festival.
But for all his horse's heroics, it was his celebration in the Cheltenham parade ring which caught the eye.
Spinning round and running towards renowned owner Anthony Knott, he jumped into him and body-slammed him into the turf.
Punters were absolutely loving the joyous scenes - comparing the hit to something you'd see in wrestling or rugby.
One said: "Get that Jim Ross commentary on it."
Another post read: "@EnglandRugby this man needs a call up ASAP."
One wrote: "This is what racing needs to be getting across to the public - that it can make grown-ups run round with joy like they have just scored the winner in the World Cup."
Another comment joked it would 'be a red card under the new tackling rules' while another said Knott had got totally 'flattened'.
While one said: "You won't see many better celebrations than this. Trainer Syd Hosie with a high tackle here surely!"
