Watch: Horse throws jockey off just before finish line

Fallen Leaf is a two-year-old filly who has become known for displaying poor manners during races.

She lived up to that reputation during a race at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla. last month when, with a big lead and the finish line in sight, she threw her jockey off of her.

The timing of the commentary is perfect, too.

"Fallen Leaf is sharp in victory," the track announcer says. "No antics of any kind, except speed and ... there we go with the antics."

Both Fallen Leaf and her jockey, Matthew Rispoli, were reportedly fine after the disappointing finish.
