An interesting event occurred in Australia. During a horse race, a champion horse named Think About It suddenly collapsed. The horse's jockey, Jason Collett, immediately fell off his horse but quickly got back up and rushed to help his horse. The horse was in very bad condition. It was suffering from internal bleeding and was flailing its legs in the air. While the other horses continued the race, Collett held his horse's head and tried to calm it down. This behavior was very dangerous, but Collett disregarded his own safety to comfort his horse. Everyone thought the horse was going to die. They even brought a curtain to shield the horse. This usually means bad news. But then something unexpected happened: The horse got back up! Veterinarians examined the horse and found that it had a serious heart problem. Therefore, the horse's owner and trainer decided to retire Think About It from racing. The horse's trainer, Joseph Pride, was very surprised. "Horses that fall like this usually don't get back up. It was like a miracle," he said. Think About It was a very successful horse. It had won 11 out of 19 races. It even won the Everest, a very important race, in 2023. Throughout its career, it earned over 12 million dollars. Jockey Collett's brave and loving actions garnered everyone's admiration. People praised his dedication and kindness towards his horse. This incident showcased the strong bond between horses and jockeys in the racing world.
