Video: This shetland pony race from Bath racecourse is one of the strangest things we’ve ever seen

I wonder if the bookies were taking bets?

This is a fantastic mixture of strange, hilarious and adorable.

There was racing at Bath this afternoon, and the highlight looks like being this fantastic Shetland pony race.

It looks like the kind of thing you’d dream about after having a large cheese pizza late at night, with the tiny child jockeys on the stubby legged ponies galloping to their hearts’ content.

In the end, the winner stormed clear in the final furlong after leading from post to post, with the little jockey even coming off the bridle towards the end.

All very adorable, although a few of them could have done with a whip.
