A couple of these should not have been on a racecourse yet. They needed more schooling and were not ready for racing. These 3 year old juvenile hurdle races are not good for NH racing.
A lot of babies here on their first race out and lacking experience. A touch of stage fright from Snow Dragon. Just unfortunate, I'm glad they are all OK.

@@Strideway_jackie It's funny to me because if you are going to ride horses around racecourses, jumping over things - if that entertains you, then you've got to take the occasional bad with the good. Kinda a sideways dig at the whole idea of horse racing. A horse upsets the whole applecart - I find that amusing.
@@Strideway_jackie The horse wasn't terrified, he is in and around plenty horses daily. He just like to have some fun and he certainly had fun today. He is a lovely horse and extremely well treated.
Just for a brief moment, watching as the runners approached the first flight, with a sprightly grey horse bowling along at the front, I was reminded of Desert Orchid, one of the greatest jumpers, when he was a young hurdler, a headstrong front runner, occasionally breathtaking at his obstacles...Just for a very brief moment.
I hate to say it, but seeing this mayhem is making me re-think the youngsters. How many of these could have started when they were proper ready - mentally and physically. Not fair to the babies or the jocks. Fair play to all, they have to start somewhere. This surely has to be the exception to the rule.
This is the whole purpose of the race, instead of trainers keeping them at home and having to wait to get them trained up, this is designed just for these horses and it is to help them get used to their surroundings faster.
These horses look like real novices, theyre all over the place. But what do I know, I was admiring Snow Dragon before they set off, thinking how big and alert he looked. And then he 'blotted his copy book'.
This is a prime example of why 3yo newcomers hurdles should be done away with asap, They are dangerous for the horses and jockeys involved, These horses clearly don't know what they are doing which a blind man can see and the punters are not interested in races which are a lottery so they serve no purpose, I suspect the proposal for these races came from the bookmakers themselves, Another brainless move by the BHA!

How come with F1 you'd have a safety car lap immediately, but a horserace is NEVER halted even when a horse fucking breaks its legs? Not to mention 3 years is way too young to be ridden anyways.
NOVICE means inexperienced. Ever seen when Foinhaven won the Grand National? FB I was lucky enough to get to know John Buckingham. He was the barman at the pub I would go to while on contract near Banbury. What a true gentleman he was.
I've been following racing for forty years now and have seen a load of novice hurdles. But I have not seen novices behave like this. I thought the grey was gonna try and bite the leading horse down that home straight.
Why would they not stop when the rider came off the horse? You are just asking for disaster at that point. Very lucky the horses and riders were okay considering a horse and rider both rolled and hit the ground after the grey ducked out and cut everyone off. No wonder people advocate against racing. In hunter/jumpers anytime there is an undersaddle with more then one horse and a rider falls off everyone else immediately halts to prevent this from happening. One loose horse running around stirring up the others or possibly running into another horse. This is stupid. Just stop the race and start over minus the disqualified team.
Without soundint too old, in my day, trainers would never dream of running such green, untrained horses. It's a disgrace. Stewards should be having a word with those involved. Poor jockeys have a hard enough job without risking their necks on such green mounts.
i too am old , but this was a 3yo novice where none had raced before and all were gelded and only 1 horse caused the carnage so the ones bought down may of been fine . it reminded me of foinavons grand national .....
All very green and one wonders what the trainers had done with these big babies before sending them to a track. The other factor was the very slow pace which will have played to insecurities and inexperience of the horses They never jump well at a slow pace and become complacent and casual if not set about their job immediately
You are all complaining about this race and horses being too young, without even understanding why the race was run. It is there to help horses get used to real races and hopefully they will learn faster, nobody was expecting much from the race apart from a training lesson
@@OneWayTicketToTheMoon Think they sere pretty much in a "bumper race" there...?!! Just glad they all seemed safe and well enough after their bumps. Better luck next time, hopefully.
There is another race I’ve seen on RUclips, where only one horse is left running the race. It was in the UK, not that long ago, the poor horse was running out of steam for the last few furlongs, you end up willing him on, just to make it to the finish line.🥴
And when the time comes I suspect my ashes will find their final resting place at the top of the hill - a place of solitude and skylarks in summer but where the denouement begins to boil to brutal in winter. At the top of the hill all the dreams are still alive, the triumphs and tragedies of the long swoop down and hard haul up the hill to victory yet to unfold before the rapt ranks in the stands.
Worry about the horses. The jockey's are there by choice, and they're also not the ones who will get killed when things go sideways and they get hurt. Do you think any of those brave jockeys would be there if a broken leg meant death for them? Of course not. These horses are being used like crash test dummies and they don't have a choice in the matter.
Meanwhile, if racecourses in the UK were smart enough to have outrider ponies/horses, these horses could've been caught and not been a lingering issue on the track. This looks so old fashioned to not have the racehorses ponied to the starting gate/line. Get some outriders for safety's sake! How foolish.
BHA created this race. Imagine this being the grand national. Oh sorry this is just an ordinary 3 year notice hurdle. Surprised no horse injured or killed. 🤔
This type of race should be banned. that first jockey almost got run over! Guys, I get that you like steeplechase, but why are you ok with jockeys being in constant danger like this when you yourselves wouldn't want to be in their place?
Jockeys know what to expect when they take these juveniles racing. Experiences improve both the horses and the jockeys and if they decide not to continue racing, at least they have the choice to stop being jockeys. Some / a few of the horses may end up as dressage horses (like poor Kauto Star) but most will settle to the job they're bred for after a bit more practice.

Only babies.!
Not true they are ready Morston of them just fell bc of the grey
Their are 2 not ready
Well, an actual race environment is very different to a training environment
Can't tell without testing
i can only guess at what hurdling 3 yr olds is doing to their joints.... YIKES!

Ears pricked, needs more schooling, The one in blue.was spooked too
well, he IS a dragon..
He was full of mischief, lol

Me too!. He is big and bold looking but crap at jumping which Dessie was not

This is not dramatic.this is traumatic.
Best race I've seen in years, good ol Snow Dragon, what a way to take out the field 🐎👍🤣
That second fence was a mini-Foinavon fence. The loose horse(s) ran along the obstacle just as in 1967.
This wasn´t an accident.
It was a perfectly executed heist. Those two were on a mission, I tell you xd
These horses look like real novices, theyre all over the place. But what do I know, I was admiring Snow Dragon before they set off, thinking how big and alert he looked. And then he 'blotted his copy book'.
Incredible any of the jockeys managed to stay seated
No tribute to Alasdair Down on the RUclips page from Racing TV is extremely poor.
What's happened to him ??

Grey doesn't know when to jump and doubts itself. Super dangerous
Those horses are having a ball!
… that’s how they should race - no jocks, just let the horses run it …
Is it herd mentality that keeps the riderless horses running the race? That was quite chaotic. I am glad horses and riders were not hurt.
Yea. Horses are herd animals so they always wanna go together so they follow or take the lead.
Has there ever been a race where no riders finished?
Yes, very rare but it has happened
Snow Dragon is wild
As soon as I saw the grey horse alarm bells rang , his eyes were on stalks.

What an absolute mess. 😮
A winn a winn
Shocking trainer running inextsperienced horse so dangerous it looked like not one of them horses had any experience of a recourse ever .
M8 it's a novice hurdle, they're animals at the end of the day & can be very unpredictable!

2 of these horse had not been schooled enough and were not ready to be raced.
And a course punter had the nerve to call this a 'bent race ' 🤣

That was Snow Dragon's payback to the humans i am sure
W
All horses and jockeys are fine
Wonder how much that horse was paid to do that?😂
Reminds me of a truck driver stuck in mud in the middle of a field claiming his GPS said to turn right here!!!!
And no one when out to catch snow dragon and let that horse almost kill other jockeys and hurt the other horses.
Can't happen but laugh
Brave and Beautiful
No actual"Carnage" occurred
Too many inexperienced horses in one race…quite a risk for a trainer!
Glad all ok tho!!!
I PLAYED THE TRI BUT RAN OUT OF HORSES…WTF

are these all 3 yr olds are something??
That first jockey looked to jump off
This race should be called The Tory Party
No, open borders and Islamic immigration....

It was like a Coconut Shy
poor horse fell with is rider
