I was certainly fearing the worst there for a bit! But both of us came out of it pretty much without a scratch, remarkably! Cernovskis said.
A trotting fan who was having a ride in the mobile barrier car captured all the action on a mobile phone. It was certainly scary to watch - I think Oscar choked down, and he actually passed out moments before he crashed through the fence, Cernovskis said. The only thing I was thinking was hell, this is gonna hurt ! he said. I think I probably had him feeling a bit good for the race, and that, combined with the tempo being so slow, I knew I was in for a bit of trouble. He was charging the whole way, which didn t help.
