The jockey was not hurt.

After a controversial Kentucky Derby, the Preakness was eventful in its own right.

War of Will bounced back from a bumpy ride at the Kentucky Derby to win the 144th running of the Preakness Stakes Saturday night in Maryland. But, the most shocking moment was when fellow horse Bodexpress bucked off his jockey.

Bodexpress threw Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez just out of the starting gate but still finished the race. An outrider tried to swoop in at the top of the stretch and corral Bodexpress, but the horse sped up and passed a few competitors near the finish line — and kept going. Technically, Bodexpress gets a did-not-finish.

Velazquez is fine after being tossed from the horse. You can watch the unexpected moment below.
