I totally agree with you, love horse racing, but these horses were obviously tiring, and being a novice chase as well, they usually haven't a lot of experience over big fences, pity to push them to the point of refusing :-(
2. S.w 2002. 6! Unlucky for sum! Even considered circumstances, animals, horses especially have instinct. V unlike McCoy to fall. Was surprised. Oh n then he got up n might as well have read newspaper in on final s!!!
I'll just say that the circuits aren't necessarily long by any means, but if the horses don't want to jump anymore, don't push them to jump anymore. Or this is what happens. The falls were just accidents (luckily not one horse was majorly injured), but the refusals were apparent and no accident by the horses. That's the que to stop. I'm not a person that wants to ban races or steeplechases or anything, but when the horses don't want to do it, I hate when they put pressure on them. And I also ha
I'm a teenager, and I love racing! Injuries can happen anywhere, last week a top horse named Great Endeavour died while on summer holiday. Horses love to run.
Yes, they love to run but please don't make the mistake of thinking injuries are a given. Much can be done to minimize the chances of serious injuries...and sadly, modern racing wants horses to win early & win often, & that's something that contributes to problems...
Jane McKay ... That is what they are bred and trained for. The ground could have been a tad more than soft, hence "stumbling and falling". I wonder if you are a horse rider? Done Cross Country or Hunting?
Jess93 ... Good for you! I know the feeling of a horse when he loves his work. Not really into racing but Hunting, x-country and Team Chasing are good ...
Excellent horses,that was not an easy race .Good stamina, training,jockey and foremost thought us art of life,which full of obstacles but slow and steady win the race.
That is sad. Those horses must have been so tired after running for that long plus the wicked jockey beating the horse that had already refused one jump and thrown him off as if beating would give it more strength.
I staked £2 asking for 22 to 1 on a horse called Annshoon (odds was 6 at the off) during in play on Betfair in same year 2002 but was given 1000 to 1 and could of had £8 on, Annshoon won in a three way photo, didn't see the race but feel sorry for the layer. Since I noticed this regularly occurs not so much a thousand but seen many favourites price go out to 150 in play before winning.
i agree that injuries happen but in this kind of sport they are much more common because this is extremely dangerous to the horse and these horses start training way to young

I just want to say that I completely understand what you are saying, but many Thoroughbred's have gone on in their career as Olympic horses and many have won. My guess is that these horses were not properly trained for Steeplechasing, which caused them to refuse or trip over the jump. Either that, or their jockeys had them take off too soon or too late. But some Thoroughbreds just aren't cut out for Steeplechasing.
I watched this in the past but while watching it tonight I didn't realise McCoy jumped the fence he fell at again. I thought it would have been the next fence to restart in unless he had refused.still bonkers though
Firstly I am glad no one or horse was injured in this race but it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen , all the horses falling is just so funny to watch ,classic
why do jockey stand up in the saddle when the race is over? to stretch their legs? do their legs cramp up during the race? yes i have had several horses, but always wondered why they do this.
Some days its just a matter of getting round, and at least Family Business was able to claim that personal victory. The track was wet and boggy - slow going and physically draining. I think that was the major problem with why so many horses and riders had a hard go of it. Even so, steeple chasing is a tough and dangerous sport - thus the reason it appeals to so many. If you have never ridden a steeplechase horse or even ran roads and tracks in a HT, you have no idea of the thrill this gives - not just for the horse! Yes - I can say without a doubt - the horses LOVE it. I can see why people would think otherwise, especially with some of the videos online, but that isn't a clear picture of this amazing sport and the incredible athletes it has.
I happen to like Steeplechasing because it's more exciting to watch then the regular gated races I think that in the USA there are very few tracks where they do it at that's why I can't wait for the weekend and TVG2 airing of the races from England and Ireland update TVG has changed to Fanduel and now they air International racing every morning
So let me get this straight. All but one horse falls, some more than once. Two get back and ride, they fail. Only 2 horses still going in the end....how is this any kind of worthwhile race? How is this at all safe if almost every horse falls! Unbelievable...
every trade,craft;profession,sport has an element of danger.Crazy batsmen used to face up to Roberts,Lillee,Thompson,Holding etc.without helmets,chestpads and such,What about F1 racers and Aussies Rules athletes
The ground was way too heavy as well. What happened to Red Radish? He refused and fell down behind the fence, he was the only one I didn't see get back up?
Mark Bradburne, jockey on Oh No Whiskey, was taken to the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham to be 'checked over as a precautionary measure'. But the rest of the jockeys and horses escaped unscathed.
seen a race when i worked in bookies 2016 think it was or 2017 similar thing all fell bar 1 obviously no remounting the lone horse got to the next fence and just refused the jockey kept takeing it back and forth for 15 minutes trying to get it to jump but nope lol in tthe end they just gave up
Yeah, these jockeys seem more like racing jockeys than jumpers. In racing the jockey can break his concentration, look over each shoulder to see who is where, get into it with the jockeys on either side of him, cut off other horses etc. and a racing horse just keeps racing. If a jockey on a jumper breaks concentration for a split second, those horses pick up on it immediately. If a horse refuses a jump, you can blame the rider.
What race IS this? Grueling & dangerous for both! And excuse a probably silly question but why are the jockeys all standing on their mounts for this kind of race?
So one of the horses elected not to jump the final fences, so his race would be incomplete? What happens there, are you just placed last and not entitled to any earnings?
I work in a bet shop and even i don't agree with the jumps .. I don't mind the steeplechases. .I sit there watching threw gaps in my fingers . heartbreaking like .
HORSE ACTUALY LIKE RACING BUT I HAVE WITNESS 3 HORSEMAN KILLED IN RACES WILBUR HOPKINS AT MOHAWK FRAN MCISAC AT TRUO AND JOHN YOUNG AT ORONO AT WILBUR APTHORPE THAT HAD TO HAVE AN ARM AMPUTATED BUT CAME BACK TO RACE WITH ONE ARM WHAT A BRAVE MAN
I see the grey on the ground but dont know if they are helping him or killing him. There seems to be an inordinate amount of injured horses in this jump racing.
I dont think an old saying has any reflection on this ! A horse is a very trusting animal, they tend to be willing to whatever the person on board asks of them. Lesuire horses enjoy a gallop out on a hack, however thats not the point of the video is it!! There are often horses remounted that have injury, and it can worsen that injury to the point of no return.
Can you imagine if bookies had an exchange back then... and allowed you to bet in race... the prices would have been all over the shot, even more than usual. Also, it’s interesting you were allowed to remount your horse and continue the race, or pull up and still continue, I’ve been backing horses since late 2013 and now it always seems a case of any pulled up or fall are not allowed to continue and count as a loss.
that explanation wd stand if thats how they train them, i suppose it wd save on pulling on the horses mouth to slow them down, i wd like to hear from a trainer and/or jockey for this one....
I am a jockey in the US and I personally do not like steeplechase, I think pushing a horse to run uphill over a six foot jump at forty miles an hour is unnecessarily dangerous, but this is just my opinion. :) no disrespect meant
...news to me ...no remounting.....those fences look stiff....no doubt been "modified" since.....part of the packagr nowadays....along with missing out half the fences when the sun comes out......or when the ground gets soft.......

You can see what a brutal racecourse Southwell was, and is still. A serious redesign needs to be made.
I totally agree with you, love horse racing, but these horses were obviously tiring, and being a novice chase as well, they usually haven't a lot of experience over big fences, pity to push them to the point of refusing :-(
koikykitty ... being placed at a wrong angle or pace or alignment will stop a horse from jumping. Also, they are trained for what they do.
Hilarious.

6!
Unlucky for sum!
Even considered circumstances, animals, horses especially have instinct.
V unlike McCoy to fall. Was surprised. Oh n then he got up n might as well have read newspaper in on final s!!!
Funny how the the 1 that remounted was a point to point winner
I think that these races with the hurdles are barbaric .
that's the best handstand I've ever seen @ 5.58 this video is legendary

"let's all refuse and not tell the jockeys"
Couldnt believe they were going and going and going.....no WONDER they were stumbling and falling !

Poor horses. They're exhausted.
Sad. Today 15: 50 at Fontwell , the winner was finished 7th but won the race because the other 8 horses ( 1 horse PU ) took the wrong course .
Sometimes your race day just feels like this!
that was insane.
Thankfully these type of fences are banned now.
They have them.
Thank goodness I was looking at these huge jumps and was shocked that they had to do several laps...
TheGoodByeGirl...do you ever watch the Grand National? Those fences were quite small in this race.
Everyone stop kicking off, racing is an amazing sport :) love it and my horse used to love it too, he is still hard to hold back sometimes
Jess93 ... Good for you! I know the feeling of a horse when he loves his work. Not really into racing but Hunting, x-country and Team Chasing are good ...
It's like the Benny Hill of horse racing😂😂
Excellent horses,that was not an easy race .Good stamina, training,jockey and foremost thought us art of life,which full of obstacles but slow and steady win the race.
At the end they only look at the horse number not the jockey.
Shocking horses that couldn't jump.
Brilliant mc coy is an absolute legend down but not out never give up!!!!!
That is sad. Those horses must have been so tired after running for that long plus the wicked jockey beating the horse that had already refused one jump and thrown him off as if beating would give it more strength.
the most bizarre thing I have ever seen in horse racing!
This sport needs to rethink itself.
Been gambling since I have been knee height , Never seen a horse race like it , Definitely the business.🙂
This looks more like something from Monty Python
You can lead a horse to a hurdle but you can't make him leap.

If you ever watched the smartest horse ever video it's perplexing why these horses don't stop. Some horses are highly intelligent.
YES!Really I never saw such race before
These horses need a touch of DNA from a great jumping 🐎 horse Red Rum
All thoroughbred horses are related to each other at some point in the lineage. They all come from the same three stallions two centuries ago
Also am I right in thinking kauto star fell in a novice chase at Exeter once then remounted and only got beat a length or so?
this was on the Tony McCoy DVD/Video The Real McCoy
i agree that injuries happen but in this kind of sport they are much more common because this is extremely dangerous to the horse and these horses start training way to young

So it seems. It was like they went on strike.

Smart horses know how to quit without injuries.
Probably a track record for the slowest winning time for that distance.

Why not give the jocks the option of continuing the race on foot inside the inner rail - the track needs to pay off all exotic wagers :o)
That doesn’t really make sense but it would be funny

Where are they doing 31 laps?
Not happened for a long time. Re-mounting was banned 2nd November 2009.
This race cracks me up, I think it's so funny 😂
This is southwell and yes the fences are stiff
Twice as high as other courses.
It looked like something was wrong with that grey horse before it even fell..
Only thing missing from that was Stuart Hall shouting ‘here come the Belgians!!’ 😂
Who is the winner?
holy fuck have i never seen anything this crazy in my life of watching horse racing i bet the in play betting would of been manic lol
other than hoping all horses were ok this is just hilarious
Diane Atkison - I believe I saw the first faller getting vetinery care. Tarpaulins and such suggests he may have been put down.
