It was an amazing race, in terms of the winning horse and rider, who really looked out of it early on, with the horse's refusal to cross the water. How amazing it was that the rider managed to persuade the horse to get on with it, and the horse found the right pace to rejoin the field and then move to the front for the win!
Much respect for the high quality of horseman ship displayed here. The fitness of the horses was correctly gauged also. Very challenging course. Congratulations to the winner and all of the horses.
This was a cross country chase and have some of the most difficult fences to jump. The biggest National Hunt meeting of the year in the UK at Cheltenham in march has a cross country chase that leaves the track and has two curcuits inside on these specialty fences. It is still a huge race and the horses have to be extremly versatile. You may not have noticed it in the days racing as it is often printed as Xcountry which would mean nothing to most people. A great spectacle and is a measure of real jumping and staying horses. Many French horses win this race at Cheltenham and a few Grand National winners too!
@@paulthurlow3330 The most famous race on the continent is the Great Pardubice Steeplechase. It has more than a century of tradition and it is also a Cross Coutry chase. This race is attended by 30,000 spectators or more every year.
@@yoiink Yeah. That's right. But I mean the continent without Great Britain, so you can understand me. The biggest race in the world is, of course, the Grand National.
@@ThomasDoubting5 Absolutly correct.. The original steeple chases were cross country from village to village (curch steeple to church steeple) over stone walls and hedges.
First time I’ve seen this kind of race and it remarkable how that horse came all the way back from their to win. In fact to remarkable for my liking because that horse should have been blown trying to catch up from their, yet it had more in the tank at the end than the rest. I’ve seen some horses pull off amazing things like the famous Red Rum three times winner and twice runner up in the hardest race ever, so I would definitely test that horse to find out how that was achieved.
Also there was a German horse that was with Brendan Powell called toughness danon,he used to give the field 15 seconds start,and he ended up winning by about 20 L was crazy,but when it started with the field it ended up getting hammered,how does that work out,it was actually in the German derby so it did have a lot of ability
Now that is one that should be banned. We fight wars to stop medieval backward cultures from taking power and yet we allow just as dumb troglodyte activities in our own country at times simply because “it’s tradition” ffs!🤦♂️ Honestly I love horse racing and I truly believe they enjoy it too but horses have twiglet legs considering their frame and weight and a broken leg for a horse is often and usually the end for the poor creatures but it is thankfully less and less these days though it will always happen as that’s nature and life. That race you refer to however is a different kettle of fish altogether and every other horse gets badly injured. It is disgusting and clear animal abuse and cruelty.

near the end of the 1800's (end of the century) there was a racing mare born in Hungary who was really ugly...sway backed, spotty mane and tail. When she was 6 mos old and weaned, gypsys broke into the racing stables and stole one horse....the ugly foal. When they were caught, the race horse owner said ''i'll let you go if you answer one question....why did you steal HER?!?'' The Roma replied""because she is the greatest of them all"" The owner shook his head but put her into training to race....she was named ""Kincsem'" ( can't spell) which means ""Treasure"" He didn't bother to attend her first race....she won, going away. Afterwards she never lost....54 races, 54 wins. She came close to losing a couple of times....she would let the other horses get way ahead of her and then blast past them. Once she stopped part way through a race for a bit of grass. When she was in a match race with the then Prince (Queen Victoria's son) Edward's horse , she fell asleep. After a LOT of shoving and kicking, the starter finally sent off Prince Edward's horse...shortly after, Kincsem woke up. "Looking slightly flustered"" the article said, she started after him...and won that race as well. Ppl offered the owner the equivalent of millions of dollars for her, but her owner never sold her...""if i did'' he said ''the ppl of Hungary would come after me""
I think a cool bet that i'm going try is this i put on say £5 on a 6/4 horse if i win i get £12.50 back from the sportsbook i then bet on five 9/1 or above horses so any of them wins would return me £25 pounds from the sportsbook which i would only do if i made money from a bookies freebie i then with my own seperate money on the exchange lay all five horses at 1.49 soon as one of them match i cancel all unmatched bets which means that if that horse loses at 1.49 i get £50 which is a 10x turnover and you five horses which gives you a good chance.
I hate these Cross Country Races, they are a Recipe for Disaster IMO, I would never risk running a Horse in these races all these twists and turns just can’t be any good for there ageing Bones and Muscles, because they have all seen better days before. Poor Things 😢

As a person raised on 60 years of flat racing, this is nothing short of astounding. I have such respect for the equine ability.

We had a Stakes Winner many years ago who historically won from 20 lengths back!! A real nail biter!! Those are SOME FIT horses AND riders!!
Great confidence hats off to the winner.
Last 40 seconds thrilling.
Congratulations to all who made all enjoyable.👍🤝👏
Mate... that horse just oozed determination 👏😊
@@BaxterThewall Horses REALLY DO know when they win and WANT TO WIN!!
Wow! That horse is a true champion!
When they all stopped at the water and were like “WTF is this, we are racehorses”.
Wow, ive never seen this type of racing before, must be hard to pick a winner, fantastic.

Now that's what you call an exceptional horse and jockey!!!.

I believe so , the old steeple chases

Literally! Like that would be to far too easy for these athletes.

Jockeys need a ruddy medal remembering the course sent me dizzy
You gotta love French NH racing. If you thought that was crazy, watch the Czech Republic's Velka Pardubicka Chase.
Thank you, I’ve been to watch this amazing Czech race, what a rabbit hole to disappear down. ❤
@Shelleysnail Grand National is just a four mile hurdle race nowadays compared to these tough cross country chases across Europe.
@@TCDL11 They don't jump hurdles in the Grand National
Yes ive seen that race a few times it's a bit of a lottery but good to watch
Strategy, conservation, and saving for the burst! Harmony with your horse 🤗
and don't forget the whip.
@@MikeSchlesingerI race, and without the whip, he would never have won
Always a great race to watch wherever it is
What an astonishing race!
AMAZINGLY complicated course!! I'm exhausted watching!! Jocks need a GPS!!
No wonder horses struggle, that's a mental gymnastic course.
Right first it’s France mate look up it’s cross country no a mental gymnastic course 🤡💩
@@paulcollins3278 I ain't your mate, and what do you know about a horses mental welfare? Nothing you 🤡
Was thinking sane. Crazy race.
Ridiculous race. It bears as much resemblance to proper racing as crazy golf does to the Open.
Light work compared to what their ancestors did during war and other times in history.
That horse must have the heart of a lion. The last furlong looked like he was finishing a 6f race.
It has a heart of a horse, heart that doesn’t give up.
(Of course with a talented jockey)
That was unbelievable and spectacular. How the jockeys know where to go is amazing. They must have GPS ??🤔

This was more like a 3 day event cross country course.
This is different
YES!! MIRACLES DO HAPPEN IN HORSE RACING!! VERY IMPRESSIVE COME FRIM THE BACK WIN!!
What sort of a course is that?
That's a cross country steeplechase.
Also there was a German horse that was with Brendan Powell called toughness danon,he used to give the field 15 seconds start,and he ended up winning by about 20 L was crazy,but when it started with the field it ended up getting hammered,how does that work out,it was actually in the German derby so it did have a lot of ability
That's a strange set up for a race course, but what a ride by the three horse.
Gotta love thoroughbreds...❤❤❤
They are quite remarkable equines .
They certainly know how to use every blade of grass.
“Now they’re coming up the home straight the wrong way” loose horse sliding through the frame
If this course was over here there'd be hell on 😂
It is very year
Who ever designed that course needs to lay off the LSD 😂😂😂
Lol and the rest. That was no racecourse! Lol
The jockey in 3rd at 2.25.."ease up lads hes still going"
At 6:47 glad to see the jockeys whipping each other and not their horses and it is one hilarious sight!
What a heavenly place to get loose .. rather like the commentator’s French pronunciation… not a fence, just a hurdle,..
All these should be done without the whip.
I race, most of the horses need the whip to keep them focused and running.
Bloody well done!! Perfect!
Having to run a race with 3 loose horses criss-crossing all over the course seems pretty insane.
Triying triying makes perfect so never loose your faith😢till the bell I rung .
Wtf did I just watch, was like a ptp race in the woods with the worst banks I've ever seen in me life😅 fairplay to the winner tho ha
That track from wacky races or what lol wtf
Staple chasing is more dangerous than flat racing, but as a horse racing fan, I preferred to watch flat racing! The excitement is always there!
Winner is happytaking his🎉 reward
I thought it was great when all the horses stopped almost at the same time going down into the dry moat. Then they all took off again.
They other 3 went so slow a snail could of caught them up.
Hack canter, they only raced up the straight.
Not could of, could have caught them up !!
Race course designed by the Marquis de Sade
People ❤ enjoying and watching it niece race
Is this a horse race or a trail for the Olympic game
They aren’t wiping them selves they are wiping the horses
What track is this?
Compiegne in France
What type of race was that and the field ?
It’s a cross country mate and it was a normal field what do you mean with the field ?
@@paulcollins3278 track
Where was this?
France, no idea which course.
This clip has been edited!
Someone has very cleverly removed the “Benny Hill” music from the show!🤠
How many tore their betting slips up half way through the race?
State of then banks 😳
If the Cheltenham cross country course was like this, the racing talking heads would lose their friggin minds!
What price was it?
What a peculiar contest? Did they miss out the car park and the member's bar because of the low sun?
What did he say about Laurence Olivier and Charles Aznavour?
This is France they go very very steady, looks like a really strange race? Actually is it fixed?
Watch interview win the Ewell chase at Sandown 1969
There's one they go down the side of a mountain in France the drop is almost vertical I couldn't believe it when I seen it.
Now that is one that should be banned.

Honestly I love horse racing and I truly believe they enjoy it too but horses have twiglet legs considering their frame and weight and a broken leg for a horse is often and usually the end for the poor creatures but it is thankfully less and less these days though it will always happen as that’s nature and life.

come on i would have catched them up with my slippers on they were going at a walking pace they let it back into the race
Ban it👎🏽
Thought where the hell is it. Not any British racecourse with such a weird layout. It's more like a horse trial event than a race. Totally weird.
France
Basically team chasing by horses that have had no cross country schooling?

looks like her genes are in some of the horses of today....
No such thing as a dumb animal however, humans having got to that understanding 😮
Mouse trap game for horses.
Utterly bizarre and confusing course!
Before starting the race you are so😮 worried but remember if GOD has chosen you you are there to jump on the winning.step first.
Looks more like a comedy sketch than a horse race.
Lol spot on. That was some crazy "race". The falls, the course, the zig zapping, you need a sat nav to know where you going!! Lol
@@BrettGrady-vf4kx I reckon the sat nav would fail with this course.
To watch that winning jocket whip his horse with all of his might to win, makes it rather....pointless.
Tiresome race butmakes somebody wealthy for life 😂
More like 200 metres start.
Half a mile using proper metrics.
WHAT PRICE IN RUNNING 1000-1 UNBELIVABLE.
