CHAOS engulfed the start of Cheltenham Festival day four.
That’s after a horse refused to stop following a false start.
Jupiter Du Gite refused to stop after a false start
There was total chaos at the start of the race
The opening 1.30pm Triumph Hurdle saw riders line up for the first race on Friday.
But a false start saw the jockeys speed off before the whistle had been sounded.
Almost all the horses were quickly halted in their tracks.
Yet one other had lofty ideas.
Jupiter De Gite hilariously refused to play by the rules.
And instead of returning to base with the other horses, he instead took off galloping down the course.
Jupiter De Gite was eventually calmed down before slowly making his way back to the start line.
But his early enthusiasm looked to have worked against him, with Jupiter losing out in the actual race to Lossiemouth.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL
It took the horse a while to stop running and turn around
It certainly made for a comical sight
Fans certainly found the scenes amusing.
One said: “Jupiter Du Gite taking off halfway down the course there.”
