Within a few minutes the two year old gelding was lifted out and apart from a few grazes appeared to be none the worse for its ducking. The gelding was owned and trained by Mr. Peter Thrale at Epsom. The animal was sent back to its stables in Middlesex-and will be shipped again later Photo shows. (Left) The racehorse Atonement seen in the water after the breaking of the crane cable.
