      @@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.

    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!

    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.
