Whoa Boy!

Another outstanding horse picture from the Hawkins file is this dramatic pile-up at the Cambridge Trotting Club's centennial meeting.

The picture shows the driver of Stan By desperately pulling back on the reins in a vain attempt to stop his flying charge from leaping over a fallen Creggan.

Creggan's driver, I. Thomas, is thrown heavily onto the track, and was later admitted to hospital with spinal injuries.

The third horse, already fallen by the rail, is Volta.
