A spooked racehorse with a name to match swam seven miles when he threw his rider during a training run.

Rebel Rover who had only recently  made a come back after a ban for naughty behaviour in the stalls, was pursued by Brisbane Police who heard from his trainer Brad Smith that  horses do not normally swim for as long as Rebel Rover did.

No mention was made on what made the horse run for the water during his training session.
