Jockey Kieren Fox was lucky to emerge unscathed after a stray golf ball sent him flying from his horse.
Fox, who was riding Luxford in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes, hit the deck during the closing stages of the race after the ball flew up from the turf.
It appeared to be kicked up by Big Lachie, before bouncing off the helmet of Charlie Bennett, who was riding Stanhope, and then firing across the vision of Luxford and Fox, who veered to the right before falling.
Big Lachie, ridden by Pat Cosgrave, eventually won the race ahead of William Carson's Commander Cole.
