That announcer is great. Sorry he passed. He insures the audience that the one horse isn't naughty and also handles the whole situation perfectly. What a great man he was
He was the Very Best at what he did!! My son would take pictures with him every time we came to Tennessee and Neshoba!! He was fascinated over Mr. Therrell. #GoneBut #NotForgotten🐎🐎
You know the only person who is sensible is the announcer everyone in the background is scaring the horses And thankyou to the announcer for telling everyone dont chase the horse let it run and also for saying the horses were scared and not being naughty So great job to the announcer
I've always admired the announcers with good sense! Thank you announcer!! You are a great part of that community! (i don't like the racing communities much, but this announcer is great!!)
That Announcer really has an enjoyable voice to listen too, Ringo over at THE LITTLE BROWN JUG !!!!! is painful to listen to . Too bad old Charlie never got the gig or at least at one of the big time raceways. This fair racing is what its all about to me......the horse and goodtimes with the ones we love !! The way Harness was meant to be.
Appears to me that the trailing horse ran in, and the driver's wheel hit the hubrail. These things happen, but, IMHO, having watched tens of thousands of races, I think the driver could have been more alert going into that tight turn.
This is why the starter is in control of the track and the ambulance has no business being on the track until the starter has deemed it safe. This is not only my opinion, but this is the opinion of many Horsemen and starters that I have known over the years. It is a safety thing. That ambulance is more of a risk than anything while there are horses running around in the track. If they didn’t have an ambulance there, it would take at least five minutes to get it to respond, there’s no reason whatsoever that they need to bring that ambulance onto the track immediately. Those guys were all up and walking around. They were able to get off the track and they should have. They could’ve been treated in the infield or they could’ve waited until the horses were caught. I drove a starting gate at several paramutual tracks and some fairs over the years. The starter I worked with told every ambulance crew before every race card, do not come out onto the track until I tell you it’s OK. I don’t care if 100 people are screaming for you to get on the track you do not come onto this track until I give you the OK. He would then issue them a two-way radio which they could use to communicate directly with him in the starting car. The announcer did a great job, but common sense must prevail, and in this video, this is a prime example as to how not to do things
You don’t need to rope them, they are called outriders. And they don’t use ropes. They ride up beside the horse and grab the reins (lines)and bring them to a stop. But this looks like a county fair, it would not have happened if the driver on 7 could have steered the horse going into first turn. If you watch he yanked the horses head right sideways when he entered the turn. I don’t know if he wasn’t steering the horse or could not steer the horse.
We're glad you enjoyed Charlie Therrell's commentary during the harness racing incident. Charlie's expertise and quick thinking are invaluable in situations like these, providing viewers with clarity and insight into what's happening on the track. We're grateful for his dedication to his craft and for keeping us informed during such intense moments. Thank you for recognizing his talent and for your support!
Bro that guy that hit the last horse in the green and white 2:40...what was he thinking? He was a rider too, shouldn’t he know not to hit it? The horse is only gonna go faster if you do that lmao
Wow that looks bad. Is the reins in the legs or what but there's just too much staff disturbing their balance. Or drivers putting them too close to each other. These horses clearly weren't ready for racing yet.
The trailing horse down on the rail, ran up on and got his hoof over arch of sulky of the #2 horse who came down to rail without sufficient clearance. I say #2 caused the wreck. Wonder what Judges call was?
You said "Some years we go the entire week without a crash" did you mean some years we go entire YEAR with out a crash? I work in the industry and if you have a crash a week that terrible and this place needs shut down.
Why do people scream bloody murder when the carriage wheel clips the vehicle. They act like the horse is trying to kill them personally or something. I swear people like that wouldn't last 5 seconds in a life or death situation.
Exactly and what a joke. Still using inside running rails, although at some tracks it is hard to remove them but they have marker pegs out from the rail, not like this joke of a place where they still race next to it. plus no outside rail either, where they do need one, at start of straight with no protection for people in stabling area. so what do they think? That no horse could run off track and into people including children? The place is a nightmare waiting to happen and breaches all safety regulations. And the way some of the idiots just ran to the scared horse that was stuck over fence just shows how stupid people who should know better can be. running up to a horse that is stuck on anything can upset it more. it might be a County fair, but that's no excuse for ignoring safety. it all seemed very unprofessional.
That announcer is great. Sorry he passed. He insures the audience that the one horse isn't naughty and also handles the whole situation perfectly. What a great man he was
He was a great Announcer and friend.
great announcer and people listening! let him calm down a bit and he will be alright....and he did calm down n was caught with zero injury!!
Charlie Therrell was the best. Thank you for watching the video.

2022. Brilliant announcer.
Calm and sensible.
The loose horse was in for the win, wouldn't give up.
Wow can we all just say that the announcer was calm and know his stuff about horse 👏👏👏👏👏
🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🐎🐎 Mr. Therrell was awesome announcer. RIH🐎🐎
The announcer is the only one who knows what the heck is going on.
This is freaking NUTS
The announcer is a expert
Geographer 4 fun Yes I agree! He’s the only who knows about horses
Charlie Therrell was the best. Thank you for watching the video.
Charlie Therrell was the best.
Horse #5 took out the ambulance with that chariot, while horse #7 thinks he's in the biggest race of his entire career.
that is a very good point. Thank you for watching the video
Bless his heart, my granddad and great uncle had a bad wreck when they are tight like that and young horses they spook so easy
That is so true!
Very smart announcer 👌
We agree!
The # 7 horse won. Twice.
Great announcer.
The announcer is amazing :)

Great announcer! I got to ride in a pace car once- what fun!
Agree! Charlie Therrell was the best!
Great announcer
Mike and the start gate
Charlie Therrell was the best announcer.....Mike Moss has a great car Starting gate.. Thank you for watching the video.

Best performance
the dog stopped the horse by talking to him at 3:38
Thank you! I did not see that dog until you mentioned it. Haha. Thank you for pointing that Dog out and for watching the video.
Great announing.
Yes it was!
I don’t know why these horse events don’t have someone on horseback that can rope, waving at a horse isn’t going to stop them
A roping horse is going to have to be taught to deal with - not only the horse, but the bike
You don’t need to rope them, they are called outriders. And they don’t use ropes. They ride up beside the horse and grab the reins (lines)and bring them to a stop. But this looks like a county fair, it would not have happened if the driver on 7 could have steered the horse going into first turn.

The announcer the only one with some common sense!
Clare Tollerton Yes I totally agree!
the announcer is clever he know what happened to the horse .thank you announcer..🙏🏻🙏🏻 I love horse 🐎🐎

Charlie Therrell was the best announcer until his passing in 2019.
I just want to commend that announcer for just talking everyone thru that. Without him that could’ve been much much worse
Absolutely,,,,Thank you for watching.
Lyla kimmy
horse 🤠😑😑💚
Thanks god everyone is alright horse and people
Got running in bad leaving the gait. I never liked driving horses with go straights on either. He got knee knocking then ran in. By the looks of it
Thank you for your comments.
Kudos to the announcer!
Of course he is scared to death his sulky hit the ambulance
The 7 horse kept racing :)
Can't believe no outer rail bush track for sure
Thank you for watching the video....
2:40 that’s messed up wtf.
At first, I thought there was something wrong with the wheels. But after reading the comments, it looks like it's actually the track that's at fault.
They have made allot of safety improvements since this incident. Thank you for you comments and for watching.
Didn't know that. Thanks for the info
Wow!!
Welcome to the feature pace at Duck Dynasty Downs
somebody needed a apple for the horse
Pretty good job especially for a county fair. Where was this?
Lincoln County Fair in Fayetteville Tennessee! There have been improvements to the track since then!
Best announcer!! Mr. Charlie Therrell RIP
Charlie Therrell was the best. Thank you for watching the video.
Bro that guy that hit the last horse in the green and white 2:40...what was he thinking? He was a rider too, shouldn’t he know not to hit it? The horse is only gonna go faster if you do that lmao
It looks like he was flicking at him to keep him away from the edge so he didn’t get the cart caught
Plus it looks like he hit the horse on the face of neck.... what a shame....
Good announcer
Turn on those lights
What a cheep track! It reminds me of a cheap carnival.
It was a small county fair out in a southern rural area, not The Meadowlands!
@@DoubleDogDare54 Thankyou!! Geezzzz...I think he missed the entire mishap!! Where accident can happen at the Meadowbrook land and Hawthorn!!
The Gard r rail was gone for years
Wow that looks bad. Is the reins in the legs or what but there's just too much staff disturbing their balance. Or drivers putting them too close to each other. These horses clearly weren't ready for racing yet.
That’s why you’re not supposed to let any trucks on the track when they lose get that ambulance off of there
The trailing horse down on the rail, ran up on and got his hoof over arch of sulky of the #2 horse who came down to rail without sufficient clearance. I say #2 caused the wreck. Wonder what Judges call was?
Awwee!!! the one poor Horse could've broke his back legs from this..and that other banging the cart into stuff..geez.
“No! Let me fly! My people need me!”
Was that Mike Moss in the gate?
Yes is was Mike Moss! Thank you for watching!
Can't have a race without a crash
Some years we go the entire week without a crash. They really don't happen that often at the Lincoln County Fair.
You said "Some years we go the entire week without a crash" did you mean some years we go entire YEAR with out a crash? I work in the industry and if you have a crash a week that terrible and this place needs shut down.
Exactly but what I want to know is why the race officials did not red flag that race?
@@tcdago I think they only race one week, which is why the reply is written the way it is.
Jesus loves you all
Announcer sounds like Jim Jones before they served the Kool Aid.
Dude I'm on the floor
The guy did a good job. What's your problem?
And they were BOTH very effective in what they were doing. Keeping a calm voice, calms others. Doesn't matter who it is.
@@amydavis4945 Fact!! RIp Mr. Therrell
Good catch; the voices are identical.
That announcer! Lol
Charlie Therrell was the best. Thank you for watching the video.
them inside rails have no business on a race track
I agree. My brother races in Chicago and most tracks have done away with them.
Horses, surrey and drivers racing top speed close quarters what could go wrong?🤷
Loose horses were desperate to win... It's my chance.
Why do people scream bloody murder when the carriage wheel clips the vehicle. They act like the horse is trying to kill them personally or something. I swear people like that wouldn't last 5 seconds in a life or death situation.
Was this happen to be at the Lincoln co fair in Tn
Yes....The Lincoln County Fair in Fayetteville Tennessee.
Don Counts I went to the races when I was a kid been a long time great memories thanks for sharing
Yeah... Um.... Screaming and yelling in the stands is not helpful... 🙄
That’s so true!!!
If you wasn't there to actually see than on camera. You couldn't and wouldn't understand!! This was at aww to witness!! 🤷🏿♀️
They aren’t dramatically screaming you don’t see stuff like this happen everyday.
If a horse is running at me,Im scared.Im not thinking about the horses mental state.
This is so dangerous
That horse will have consequences injury wise how the whole back end just went out im pretty sure that horse is gonna be doing that for a while
I like the car man
This is safer for horses and riders?
Total shambles, people just wandering about on track
This is why I don’t support this anymore, because these horses get injured easily
People get hurt in the Olympics you going to stop them
2014 and there are still places hosting harness races with a rail!?
Exactly and what a joke. Still using inside running rails, although at some tracks it is hard to remove them but they have marker pegs out from the rail, not like this joke of a place where they still race next to it. plus no outside rail either, where they do need one, at start of straight with no protection for people in stabling area. so what do they think?

Their have been many safety improvements since this incident. It was a scary video to shoot.
@@125sloth youre quite an expert
Why were there no mounted guys on horseback?To stop loose horses.. what town is this?
This was in Fayetteville Tennessee.
Because it’s harness racing and that would be dangerous you clown
@@DonCounts makes sense it must have been a non wagering event I guess
Is this why they got rid of the inside rail on harness racing tracks?
I think you are correct. Thank you for watching the video.
Absolutely disastrous. Can’t the drivers drive … a shambles.
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Where are the clerks of the course
What are clerks of the course?
Don Counts mounted ponies that can render assistance to drivers In such circumstances.
I think they're normally called outriders but a lot could have been prevented if they had them here.
so scary
Yes, it was a very scary video to shoot! Thank you for watching.
Location ?
Fayetteville Tennessee
Looks like a jailhouse track
Bravoooo!!!
Thank you for watching.
They handled this so poorly
how do they not have out riders??!!!
