@LilA-zl6tf I race, and the whip is needed to keep the horse focused and keep it going. The padded whip does not hurt the horse as much as the old type of race whip
The title is a misrepresentation, it was the jockey's strategy to stay behind.. The race was 2 miles, 3 furlongs, with hurdles. Pays to save energy and stay away from trouble. And you must have the jockey and horse that can do it. A fun race to watch.
The winning jockey rode on the outside during the middle of the race on the firmer and faster part of the track.....excellent ride. I bet that jockey knows that track well.
Agree. He let the horse be comfortable. Also, he might have trailed, but he was never that far from the pack when he made his run. As the caller said, he just needed to sustain in the final furlongs (and the early tactics paid off).

Thats was amazing, pacing in rear for almost entire run and then making the move at the right time. You almost think he waited too late like the movie Boys in the Boat did for their Olympic run. Well done ! I tip my hat and bow to your epic run!

"That looks like a brutal race. Those horses looked absolutely exhausted at the end." That's the point, it's a race. and human athletes who run races are absolutely exhausted at the end of a middle distance running race too.
You can see on the first lap that he was watching how the ground was cutting up and clearly choosing the best ground to save energy. Jumps not my thing but a very clever ride.
Wow! I kept watching to see what was so special about this race, then I saw the red and yellow starting to move... wow what a ride. Just sat back there till time to make the move.
Unbelievable endurance from BOTH the jockey and the horse!!! Quintessentially British, dull and overcast, lovely grass (turf) and sheep grazing in the background.
Wow, well done Gavin, best I've seen in years. Most would have pulled up Hedera Park halfway around the track...congratulations to you and Hedera Park.
I'm not sure it was so much the jockey. The horse was sort of asleep at first, but soon as the horse made contact with the field again, he got excited and decided he wanted to get involved. The more he advanced, the more enthusiastically he ran.
He was never giving up. That was the strategy. Gavin knew the horse could run from the back. Some horses are born leaders and it's quite obvious that Hedera Park wanted to run up front. Great race for the pair.
Terrific strategic ride. I always find it amazing how race announcers can remember the horses and riders' names race to race. I have trouble keeping my children and pets' names straight!😊
He knew his horse perfectly holding her back so everyone just ignored him! The about 3 fulongs to go he gives her her head and she is OFF! absolutely SUPERB WIN. I should have put 1000 to win on Hedera Park!
Great run, well paced, Super effort from the horse and great jockey. Stopped watching hurdles long ago , since my favorite horse dead!! on the racecourse, better safety is needed for these wonderful animals who mostly give all to win!!
Wow what determination from being behind the pack to stay close but utilize the horse oxygen composer and then in the last lap the jockey and horse in their loving bond know it time to put it in another gear and make a move and wins this race , wow absolutely amazing a good supper and rest for both of them and purse$$$$$$, of course , well deserved. Thanks for sharing .
"Jockey refused to give up!" What kind of nonsense is this? He settled him out the back and the horse was always travelling well. I swear the people who write these captions don't have the first clue about racing.
I agree, he hacked around until 4 furlongs out before jockey got serious with him, experienced jockey knew about the long run in at Chepstow on soft ground, a very good ride though, cool and confident
I don't claim to be a horseracing expert but I have noticed that, for about three-quarters of a typical race, the horses are hacking along. It is only at the 75% mark that the jockey has to assess whether his or her mount can accelerate into full pace just a bit earlier than the rest. However, this was a pretty startling example of this rule of thumb, as the winner started scything through the field as they were still going around the final bend.
the best part of that ride was Sheehan keeping his head and letting the horse alone to get over the last two, rather than trying to pinch a stride - a loose horse never falls. Great effort by horse and rider.
Jockey who knows how his horse works , simply economical running, staying out of trouble , looked like he kept in on the firmer grass and just let it loose at the right time , perfect strategy !
He'll never forget that win!! What a ride from a rider
What a run from the horse!
@@stephanieyee9784 I just wish they could trust the horse without the whip.
And yet we see this strategy all the time, so it amazes me that people are amazed.
Genial el jockey!!!! Guardó la energía de su caballo para el último tramo!!!! Sabiduría de un buen conocedor de la resistencia de su caballo!!!
@LilA-zl6tf I race, and the whip is needed to keep the horse focused and keep it going. The padded whip does not hurt the horse as much as the old type of race whip
Unbelievable! That was absolutely stunning.
I can't stop laughing! Amazing stuff
No, it was absolutely fixed.
Watch the Australian horse Winx. She would do this every single race.
Absolutely incredible ride, a joy to watch, well done Gavin.
Sheehan and the horse take a BOW. Just brilliant.
THIS IS racing at its finest. NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Gee I can get my breath back now. 🫣🫣 what an amazing horse and its rider.Certainly a breathtaking finish.🤗🥰🦘🦘
How to kill horses. Too much for them!

To be honest most jockeys can feel if a horse has got plenty in the tank even though it may not be obvious
Most jocks are your turn my turn cant trust anyone
The best ride so far for the jumping season and what a price too I wish all of us had horses like that winning. Well done
Unbelievable 😮jockey and horse just never give up. Exactly what you want to see. Hats off to you both.
Horse travelled really well even when adrift of field in early stages of race
What a Team, they understand each other like a couple deeply in love.
Love a horse that runs from the back - just like Chautauqua! So exciting and you feel the horse just loves it.
Not at all!
It makes for better spectacle, that's for sure.
Beautiful/wonderful ride. I love Horses and jockeys coming from the clouds to win.
Gavin is a fine horseman. His ride on Hewick in the King George was something else as well
Wdym his horse was flat to the board but found more from nowhere Wssnt a great ride at all his horse travelled awfully and got him out the shit

Brilliant strategy. Had a pleasant gallopmost of the way and THEN put the throttle down.
Brilliant, patient ride Gavin, get in there man!
i am from the Philippines.. what a heart that the horse and the jockey have.. amazing..
Gavin Was Smooth As Silk!! Never Give Up On Winning!!
It was planned that way
A fantastic show of faith in your steed, and patience in the ride.
That looks like a brutal race. Those horses looked absolutely exhausted at the end.
yes because the animals don't have a choice to race or not. It's all about money, greed and cruelty.
It’s a cruel industry, and yes that race is hard , Horses die racing every day , but most people just don’t care

Awesome ride
Went through the field like a knife through butter
Sounds like flat top from snatch!
You can see on the first lap that he was watching how the ground was cutting up and clearly choosing the best ground to save energy.
Jumps not my thing but a very clever ride.
Wow! What a ride!
Wow, what a beautiful and considerate ride by Gavin Sheehan.
Very clever. Noticed how he went for the fresh ground.
Exactly....the outside was firmer and faster and that won them the race...I bet this jockey knows this course very well.
Determination at its finest! That was incredible and I found myself yelling at the monitor " Go go go go!"
Wow! I kept watching to see what was so special about this race, then I saw the red and yellow starting to move... wow what a ride. Just sat back there till time to make the move.
Unbelievable endurance from BOTH the jockey and the horse!!! Quintessentially British, dull and overcast, lovely grass (turf) and sheep grazing in the background.
Brilliant from sheeehan and horse
Great ride. Didn’t panic, didn’t give up . He gave the horse a chance and reaped the reward.
I think he knew exactly what he was doing.
Didnt have this but had him on the Its you horse in the last race but what a ride from horse and jockey on this race 👏
This must be the ride of the decade unbelievable riding, watching it just doesn't get boring. Tip of the hat to you Sir
Unbelievable what a horse and jockey
I'm not a fan of the jump racing, but what a fantastic run that was. Ridden like a dream and ran like a machine. 👏👏👏
Bloody perfect, I knew they would do it!!!
Underrated jockey.
Who ever underrated him,he has always been rated one of the top jockeys by media and punters alike where have you been
@@paulconey252 he's not in the top 10 jockeys
Underrated horse.
@@robertdelacy3434 Maybe not officially. But I'm always VERY reluctant to take on a horse he's perched on, and I doubt if I'm the only one.
Definitely a contender for ride of the season!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such a satisfying ride and they both must have enjoyed those feelings
Wow, well done Gavin, best I've seen in years. Most would have pulled up Hedera Park halfway around the track...congratulations to you and Hedera Park.
...WOW ! FANTASTIC RIDE ! FANTASTIC HORSE!
that horse power and stamina is incredible ! that jockey really have full confidence in that horse.
WHAT A FANTASTIC RACE FROM COMING FROM THE BACK TO WIN A RACE
LOVE IT
One of the best riders ever, a stunning last to the finishing...
Outstanding that
I'm not sure it was so much the jockey. The horse was sort of asleep at first, but soon as the horse made contact with the field again, he got excited and decided he wanted to get involved. The more he advanced, the more enthusiastically he ran.
Though Gavin has ridden a few races just like this won...
He’s the best around by a long way. You know whatever you’re going to get a positive ride.
Just when you're binning your betting slip😂😂
Brilliant ride
He was always going well
That was Amazing, The best Race i have ever seen....
Brilliant. Last to 1st in 4 furlongs. Smashing jockey and tough horse.
Good tactics, they went to fast in testing conditions, and he stayed the best after saving all the energy in the early part of the race !
Bravo Gavin, a brilliant ride!
Perseverance pays . Bravo!!
He was ridden like that by design , always travelling easy
WOW!!! What a ride.
He was never giving up. That was the strategy. Gavin knew the horse could run from the back. Some horses are born leaders and it's quite obvious that Hedera Park wanted to run up front. Great race for the pair.
I love races like this! ❤
A great ride Well done Horse & Rider 👏👏👏
Brilliant run Lad!! That's a jockey who knows his horse well!

For a good 3 min i kept saying "aint no f**kn way", right to the very end ...
What a race, legendary...
Great ride!
You mean the HORSE never gave up!🐎
Wow!!!!! Amazing ride
Awsome ride was great watching his red cap coming up thru them
What a game horse!
My mouth dropped open! What a win.
Never give up, never surrender.
What a great ride from Gavin and his outsider, a great pain for most favourite punters 😢at 25-1 odds
feel sorry for the BETFAIR LAYERS who saw this as EASY PICKIN"S early on in the race lol

Normally that is the way. Bit different in USA racing and some other countries though
Can you imagine having a tenner on this rider and horse and seeing it at the back of the pack,, brilliant ride

I do not routinely follow , but that was incredible.
