Go Back, You're Going The Wrong Way!

In France overnight, the last race at Auteuil "ended in absolute farce as all 15 jockeys were fined €150 (A$240) for taking the wrong course," reported racingpost.co.uk. After clearing the water jump on the figure-of-eight track, the field "failed to turn right towards the bullfinch & instead carried on the reverse way up the straight; once the mistake was realised, the runners were turned round to rejoin the track they were meant to have taken in the first place & the race continued."
