Can anyone name the jockey who was riding in a race at Windsor and the horse crashed through the rails and the jockey ended up in the River Thames

He couldnt swim and he went under 3 to 4 times,he was save by a member of the ground staff who dragged him out.

He thought he was a gonna.

Who was the jockey ?

 had a lucky escape on August 23, 1976, when Wenallt Red Knight, a horse he was riding at Windsor, set off in front but, on reaching the junction of the course two furlongs later, crashed through the rails into the stream

Des said at the time: 'I thought I was a goner. I can't swim and went down three or four times, my feet sticking in the mud. Then a man jumped in and rescued me.'

That man was Roy Clark a member of the ground staff. It took a further fifteen minutes before Wenallt Red Knight scrambled free.
