Teenager Ferguson was flung from his horse in spectacular fashion at Wincanton . ‘ It was just a blur , ’ he said . ‘ I couldn ’ t work out what had happened until I got back to the weighing room and watched the replay . All the other jockeys asked me if I was all right and stuff , they all watched with me and looked away in horror . It ’ s about the most impressive fall I ’ ve seen . ‘ There was nothing I could do to avoid it , you just have to let it take its course and hope it ’ s not a bad one . I ’ ve been very lucky . I got a bit of abuse from the lads and picked up a few hundred Twitter followers but it ’ s all good banter . ‘ Given the somersaults , maybe I ’ ll look at having a gymnastics career after finishing racing . ’
