At least that's the hope of these jockeys at the German Derby in Hamburg, where competitors had to navigate a water hole during the Seejagdrennen (roughly, the "sea steeplechase") event. (Think of it as the Run for the Hoses.) The race was won by German jockey Dirk Fuhrman (in the purple silks) and his mount, Helmac, who clearly loves a wet track.
