'I was starting to panic a small bit' - Sean Dylan Bowen holds on to win apprentices' title after long battle with Joe Leavy

Sean Dylan Bowen got soaked on a sunny afternoon in North Yorkshire after holding off a late rally by Joe Leavy to clinch the apprentices' title.

His fellow jockeys drenched him with celebratory buckets of water at Catterick when his rival's odds-on defeat in the fourth race meant he could not be caught.

The pair had been battling it out at the top of the table for a month and Leavy reduced the gap to two winners when landing the apprentice handicap on Morandi Second.
