Shortly after the start, he unseated his rider, Lucy Brown, who escaped unhurt, before running away from Musselburgh Racecourse in Scotland and running for around four kilometres through the surrounding streets.

Safely intercepted

Wearing bib number 7, Rufio managed to bypass the vigilance of the stewards and cross a permanent external barrier. The horse was eventually safely intercepted without causing any damage thanks to the intervention of a member of the public after coming to a halt near a traffic area, according to race director Rory Innes.

“A horse unseated its rider during the last race and made its way off the track. This is an extremely rare occurrence “, explained the spokesman of the racecourse to Telegraph.

Rufio was able to to be brought back safely to the racecourse by ground staff.
