Jockey Blake Shinn left racers behind him with quite the view at Canterbury Park Racecourse in Sydney on Thursday.

Moments after the horse race began, Shinn's pants started to slip, exposing his rear to those behind him (as well as everyone watching on television).

"I was more worried about winning the race," Shinn told Stuff. "They went just after the start and there was nothing I could do. I think a lot of people are going to have a bit of fun with this, but they can't say I wasn't focused and went to the line."

Shinn ended up placing second in the race, directly in front of a horse named Modesty. Seriously.
