Supporters of the Ben Smith-trained Floki best look away and not view the attached vision of the Vancouver @ Coolmore Class 1 Handicap (1000m) at Muswellbrook on Tuesday.
Floki was sent out the $1.28 favourite off the back of his 8-3/4 length dismantling of a maiden field at Scone on August 8 after tracking three wide throughout.
Pre-race Smith indicated the Sky Racing that wanted to ride Floki with cover to teach the horse something with a view to longer races in the future but things went horribly wrong in the straight.
Floki, whose rider Josh Adams wore the navy blue silks with a white band and armbands and a red cap, was pocketed behind the leader Oakfield Time and back to the inside of Final Frontier.
We'll let the footage tell the rest of the story.
