This horse was my modern day best mate after besty I'm never thought I'd be drawn toma horse like that again but along came many clouds. Backed him always and was gutted beyond belief when he passed after doing what he loved. Rip Many Clouds gone but never forgotten.
I backed Many clouds for the Gold cup and it wasn't to be but it was for this very reason that he flourished in the grand national. Sticking his head down to beat Thistle crack just exemplifies that he truly went out like a boss
Ruby Walsh what a hero! You could see everything he did to go help Balthazar King and Dickie Johnson much better here than on the Channel 4 coverage and then holding the flag on the second circuit. Good to see!
Charla Lala I got £130 on him (also with a £5 bet... different bookies/odds I suppose). Good day for us :) I put a bet on him for Cheltenham before, but he bungled it. Decided to give him another chance today. Glad I did! He is redeemed in my eyes.
***** Nowadays they don't even feel when they're being whipped. The whip is ultra-light and cushioned and is used to create a sound that the horse reacts to. And if a horse cant go any further it will either be pulled up or refuse to jump - in no way is there animal abuse in the Grand National.
***** Accidents happen in all sports, not just horseracing. I know sports involving animals are more controversial because the animal doesn't get to consent to take part, but most of the time things go smoothly. Accidents are a minority of cases. In any case, what would you rather see happen? The horse industry shut down? What would happen then to all those horses involved? No one would be able to provide for them anymore, because they'd be out of jobs and money. So then the horses would probably end up in slaughterhouses. That would be even worse than the racing business.
Thanks for the attack Boolaga Bay. I am well aware of how the animals are treated and in the ball park of animal abuse it is right at the bottom. There are donkeys in Africa who carry heavy loads in the blistering sun for hours with hardly any water or food. These horses have wonderful lives outside racing and the risk they experience lasts 10 minutes, tops. Horses falling is rare and is getting safer all the time. I feel comfortable taking part in this tradition.
***** The winnings may be different depending how you bet. If you put your £5 on "each way" you get less. I betted for "the win" only, therefore the jackpot was larger.
Old Tranquil Sea needs 4m 4f just to warm up these days bless him. He started in virtually last place & picked off his rivals one by one to get a very respectable 7th in the end for a 13 year old. He's in the bright green colours with the noseband
MsVanorak ;D Same as Hello Bud the 14 year old in the 2012 National, which Neptune Collenge won, no spring chicken either, believe he was 12 or 13 that same year. The veterans
Many Clouds Again This Year Surly There Is No Threat For Him He Has Got To Get His Second National Come On Many Clouds And Leighton Aspell I Would Like To Wish You All The Best For The National
Balthazar King is reported to be up on his feet,he took a proper broadside wallop from the following grey horse.He may have broken several ribs it was later reported.Get well soon BK.
Yeah, he was fine after the fall but when BallyCasey rammed into him he tried to get up, which I fear made his injuries worse. Imagine if they had taken that second canal turn and Many Clouds fell!
2015 was fatality free and thats something to rejoice just as in 1961, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 71, 72, 74, 76, 80, 81, 82, 85, 86, 88 - all fatality free. Horse deaths are very sad but disproportionately and emotively hyped up by those often foaming at the mouth. I believe the National should be a unique once a year race with stiff fences and connections enter on that basis. However, let's not get carried away that the fences in the 70s and 80s were impossible. 23 horses (the record) finished in 1984 and 22 finished in 1987. Old timers back then said the fences were too soft and not like in the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s - they were right just as we are right now. I dont want to go back to the 1950s, although restoring the ditch at the Canal Turn would slow them right up. I dont believe we should substitute stiff fences for ever quicker pace as I believe speed kills as horses breast through the fences like Balthazar King. The old fences would have kept him on the take off side and prevented more injury to him and others. I believe too many horses are left in by Foinavon and the Canal Turn - a problem that is getting worse, but not unique (1974). I recall in 1983 it was even money that half the field will be out by 1st Bechers and as the National was designed for elimination by a very clever course builder I have no problem with it. Racing is a tough sport and there will always be injuries. Get over it. While I accept we wont be going back to the old fences any time soon, here is a fatality free Foxhunters over the old fences. Just remember that earlier that day most of the runners in the Topham completed. th-cam.com/video/dY2nzxs1-ro/w-d-xo.html
grincher2006 You're talking crap. Sounds like some sort of death race 2000 when u talk about too many horses being left by such a such fence. I was there when brown trix was winched out of Bechers brook breaking his shoulder in the process and leading to him dying too. It's not on that a cretin like you thinks another life lost is a price worth paying for your entertainment. I love horse racing but I also love the horses that make the racing possible and they deserve much better treatment. Fences should be made safer, it's no less of a spectacle and whips should be banned and don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about as I know more than armchair punters like you. Better Horse veterinary provision and some assessment of the horses wellbeing and eligibility to jump this course should be made beyond allowing some selfish careless owner to decide that he fancies his horse having a run around to impress his mates along with a few beers before watching his horse being towed off to the knackers yard.
Fantastic weight carrying performance from Many Clouds. Cool as a cucumber ride from Leighton Aspell. But the best result was the fact the battered and bruised warrior Balthazar King got to his feet.
Only see this comment today and I’ve watched this race loads of times, Balthazar king indeed how he got up I do not know what a mighty specimen he was ❤
So asked my 94 year old nan if she fancied a flutter on the national she replied with many clouds £2.50 each way which had me in stitches, she won £213.14 good on her love you nan xx
jbo 2000 You could have had 40/1 earlier in the day, I saw nothing higher than 40, betfair it touched 50/1 but thats exchanges and you can't bet e/w. Scott, hate to be a killjoy but you may have made a calculation error.
I really hope these horses ain't hurt when they get whipped And Rest in Peace to Many Clouds, I really hope his condition wasn't brought on by racing :(
@Michael Demiurgos actually yes they can feel the crop. A horse can feel when a fly lands on them, and they use their tails to flick them away because they get irritated with the flies. A horse can feel being shocked, they feel when a horse fly bites them, and they feel a whip. Do ur research and watch all the videos u can on horses racing and other horse sports. If u watch when a horse is running being repeatedly whipped or whipped hard u can tell by their body language when they're upset. Some might shy from the whip, where they change lead real quick as soon as they see the whip, and that's fear from being whipped. Some might spook, some might put their ears back, some might start to slow down, etc when they're being whipped. There has been horses that have the lead, and others can't catch them, but the horse is still being whipped to go faster. People drug their horses, whip their horses, shock their horses, and find many other inhumane ways of making them win. For instance, Bob Baffert and Amber Cobb r good examples of shitty owners and trainers, who shouldn't be aloud around any animals, especially horses. Many send the horses to slaughter when they can't do the sport they once did. People discard them and act like it's okay to do it. Animals have emotions just like people do. Let me ask u something how would u like it if someone was put on ur back, and raced u against others, while ur being whipped to have the lead and win? Horses don't need to be whipped to win or to control them, anyone who knows horses should know this. I believe horses do like a challenge, and they like to run, jump, and play, but when people do all this extra shit to them, they don't enjoy what they do or r doing.
@Michael Demiurgos there were many researchers about the crop use in race horses and the damage they do to them. The many autopsies performed on race horses showed MASIVE bleedings in the rib and hindquarter areas of the horses that went several muscle layers deep! Do your research and don’t sure that just because crops make noise they don’t do damage to the horse!

I fancied it strongly and knew it was well overdue for an 8 year old to win the GN but with Aspell on his back, I thought it so unlikely as back to back on different horses was virtually unheard of. Same this year with a 7 year old. Wish I did not look at the stats so much
Little Miss The Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury has produced stars Like Denman, Bobs Worth, Arkle and now the 2015 Grand National winner, Many Clouds. Another big priced winner. It was not to be for Shutthefrontdoor.
I live over 100 miles from the nearest Bookmakers but this weekend I was in Inverness visiting relatives - I walked into Ladbrokes with about 5 horses vying for my money , I had thought of Cause Of Causes but went with the Gold Cup runner , Many Clouds , picked up £290 this afternoon . The usual feelings of ' I wish I'd put more on ' went through my mind but hey , I won !
while i agree that the race isn't as much of a test as it used to be I still think it is one of the toughest races around hence why only half the field completed, yes the have made some fences easier but if we have less equine fatalities it can only be a good thing, and I am a true horse racing fan.
Sneaky how the tv coverage was avoiding Many Clouds at the finish. Horse was looking unwell and was overheating...imagine if the horse had died...the outrage would have spelled the end for the national.
IMHO, i feel they have too many horses on the field. They collide at the take off, mid air, and landing. The clip the heels of the horse landing in front of them, and when they do fall and happen to pop up okay, they get slammed and hurt even worse by the fallowing pack. I understand that it is one of the largest races in Europe, but they need to drop the number of horses allowed on the track in a single race... Horse racing can be an exciting time if done right, and heart breaking when catastrophe strikes...
You could see he was a the winner with a circuit to go.. Just moments before the race, I remembered the trainer saying before the gold cup "He knows he's King Kong".. So I knew he was the class-act of the race and stuck £12 on at 25's.. and just remember cheering him on like crazy calling him King Kong hahaa :D .. But the biggest relief was Balthazar, he's such a special horse and I'd rather him get up than win a couple tonne on the winner.. for real.. :)
these recent nationals are taking a familiar shape, a handful of fallers at the first 3 fences, then a relatively incident free race to bechers 2nd time, then between fence 22 and 28 around 10 pulling up and a couple of fallers because of the excessive gallop , then at fence 29 its more like a flat race finish with about 10 jockeys riding hard, the horse that outstays the others wins, another thing is because of all the changes u don't get great national horses like west tip and corbierre anymore
second time i have won the grand national the first time was in 2010 with tony mcCoy riding dont push it and this years national with many clouds with a £45 pound win
(Quick note: I don't want anyone to reply if it's complaining) If there is anything I hate about horse racing it's the grand national it's basically torture for some of the horses.. Like some get severe injuries same with the riders... I know its traditional but still.. looks at how some of those horses fell.. Did u see the one that couldn't get up? No? Well then watch it again!!
At one time A.P was so severe with the whip he was sent back to racing school to learn how to use it correctly. He never should have been knighted! The reaction of the death of Gloria Victus was appalling.
What do you mean by RIP? Balthazar King survived the fall and recovered from his injuries at the hospital. th-cam.com/video/QZv6IqDT8wM/w-d-xo.html www.bbc.com/sport/horse-racing/32274221
@@danielledewitt1 alot of the time they use it and the horses get up actually want another 2 examples. They use it to keep the horses or jockeys relaxed
How on earth did MC go off at 25's?How on earth did I get 33's(Thanks W.Hill).IMO he was the class horse of the race,hopefully a worthy successor to Denman for sheer courage......OK,I hear you,they're all heroes,so are the jocks.
I had rebel rebellion, saint are and soll, at the half way point i was looking at a grand, now I only got my stake money back, o well thats the grand national for you :)
MrNoodle1664 Heh, my mother had The Druid's Nephew. Was starting to get her hopes up after he held the lead for a while, only to be left cursing after he went down. Lucky for her I was backing Many Clouds, so I'll share the nice £130 I got with her.
***** if The Druids Nephew had stayed up he would have won . i backed that horse at cheltenham. they bring him back he possibly will be the winner , that happened to hedge hunter fell , following year 2005 won the race
***** I backed Many Clouds (among others) at Cheltenham, but he bungled it. Decided to give him another chance at the National. He is now redeemed in my eyes.
1. The horse does have a choice. The horse will not run if he/she doesnt want to. Racing is what they are bred for. 2. If these horses don't race, where do they go? I'll tell you now, 90% of them would end up in your tesco beef burgers. 3. The majority of them are treated wonderfully. Much better than humans.
Lionel Messi Your Words Lionel Messi "Racing is what they are bred for"THINK ABOUT THAT!as for being in our beef burgers thats the treatment & my whole point in question!
+Terry Barthram You have found a way to actually make horses do things that they do not want to do, Mr Barthram? Great. How much do you charge for riding lessons?
Easter Monday at Auteuil in France, Mister Bali, Poli Boy, DJ Apples, Puyfolais and Gold Khomeini all died during races on the card. I am all for animal rights but start in France first. The fences there almost invite failure.

I cried when they bought out the green screens...
@Seamus Fitzpatricknkhz
@Seamus Fitzpatrick The green screen means they are murdering a horse.
@@danielledewitt1 That horse recovered
@@tomcurran860 Yeah but he was lucky, usually they murder the horse behind that screen, like they did with the long mile.
@Michael Demiurgos No I didn’t.
poor balthazar thrown around like a rag doll at the canal turn.luckily he survived
He was retired from racing yesterday. We wish him a very happy & long retirement
+Lionel Messi totally agree love baltazar
Fantastic news. I was sure he had broken his leg.
This race will forever be remembered for balthazar kings horrific fall
Got it at 40/1 ,,,,, loved that horse
second time i have won the grand national the first time was in 2010 with tony mcCoy riding dont push it and this years national with many clouds with a £45 pound win
Proper dude that horse, RIP many clouds, tough bugger.
RIP Saint Are ❤️
It's about time the Grand national was banned.
Along with all horse racing.
I am crying because many clouds has died :( I am crying omg
Many clouds won me this race and many more. Such a sad moment. Always gave its best effort ALWAYS!!
@@iloveblackjack8753 It‘s so sad because in almost every race like that horses are dying because of this jumps. Why not normal races?.?
I watched this race with the lord of the rings Riders of Rohan soundtrack playing simultaneously, made it so intense!
True champion winning the national off a high mark....
(Quick note: I don't want anyone to reply if it's complaining) If there is anything I hate about horse racing it's the grand national it's basically torture for some of the horses.. Like some get severe injuries same with the riders... I know its traditional but still.. looks at how some of those horses fell.. Did u see the one that couldn't get up? No? Well then watch it again!!
Who can't wait for the 2018 one
people forget how good he was also dear saint are another legend
saint are died a few weeks ago, age 15. he had a second career as a show horse.
Por qué no muestran la cantidad de caballos lesionados !?
Because it was 0. No horses were fatally injured. One horse was injured but survived and raced again.
Y hay gente que practica esto!! No se puede creer
best weight carrying performance since red rum
What's the best horse to bet for?
Pacuan kuda spektakuler di adakan dan perlombaan melelahkan smoga juara ...🎉🎉
3 race callers in the Grand National?
Goddamn!!!!
What's the attendance for this race? I'm gonna guess 50,000 to around 75,000. 🏇
Кайсыл олконун аты биринчи келди.
AP Mcoy won the horse whipping contest...wow at the finish he beat STFD like a wayward stepchild...
At one time A.P was so severe with the whip he was sent back to racing school to learn how to use it correctly. He never should have been knighted! The reaction of the death of Gloria Victus was appalling.
10 quid on this at 33/1 absoloutly brilliant!!
Г67
When I seen the green tarp I knew what happened R.I.P
What do you mean by RIP? Balthazar King survived the fall and recovered from his injuries at the hospital.

@@masterofreality6434 Well 9 times out of 10 that green screen means they are murdering a horse.
@@danielledewitt1 its not 9/10 learn before commenting
@@louisepalmer4488 Yes it is.
@@danielledewitt1 alot of the time they use it and the horses get up actually want another 2 examples. They use it to keep the horses or jockeys relaxed
I like that horse which is racing without jockey!
Saint are better at weights this year
Piece a' cake now!!!
0:28 look at Bob Ford’s mistake
Brilliant horse

Many Clouds
2017
Какой жестокий спорт. Сколько людей и лошадей покалечилось просто так. ? Зачем?
How on earth did MC go off at 25's?How on earth did I get 33's(Thanks W.Hill).IMO he was the class horse of the race,hopefully a worthy successor to Denman for sheer courage......OK,I hear you,they're all heroes,so are the jocks.
SAD NEWS MANY CLOUDS SAD LOSS RIP
Anyone who truly loves horses washouts hate these sports where animals are put down all the time and those who don’t win end up in a slaughter plant.
Não moça não e assim não
Not true, but if that how deluded you are: fine
hey why is crabbie racing allowed 🙃 look at them dropping like flies. and for what
well done Many Clouds! who says we can't have another horse like Red Rum? :)
ya me están empezando a gustar las carreras de caballos c:)
XD
2:02 Ooohhuch!! ¡Auch! :0
Thistlecrack was never the same horse after many clouds beat him what a horse many clouds was
Has any other horse carried more weight to win the National in modern times?
sorry jane i do not understand what you are trying to tell me to do???
I had rebel rebellion, saint are and soll, at the half way point i was looking at a grand, now I only got my stake money back, o well thats the grand national for you :)
MrNoodle1664 Heh, my mother had The Druid's Nephew. Was starting to get her hopes up after he held the lead for a while, only to be left cursing after he went down. Lucky for her I was backing Many Clouds, so I'll share the nice £130 I got with her.
***** if The Druids Nephew had stayed up he would have won . i backed that horse at cheltenham. they bring him back he possibly will be the winner , that happened to hedge hunter fell , following year 2005 won the race
***** I backed Many Clouds (among others) at Cheltenham, but he bungled it. Decided to give him another chance at the National. He is now redeemed in my eyes.
I bet on many clouds big price he was too xxx 😊
im so exited for this year s its today yey
whats the name of the white one??
Grey not white.
if you enjoy this staff you can’t call yourself a horse lover.... the biggest animal mistreatment i have ever seen
My only ever winner of the national
Did Many Clouds die shortly after this race, or was it later in his career
He died in 2017, killed by racing.
Rip many clouds 💙
He didn’t die
Secretariat is many clouds also.
The Horse doesn't have a choice but humans do!
1. The horse does have a choice. The horse will not run if he/she doesnt want to. Racing is what they are bred for.
2. If these horses don't race, where do they go? I'll tell you now, 90% of them would end up in your tesco beef burgers.
3. The majority of them are treated wonderfully. Much better than humans.
Lionel Messi Your Words Lionel Messi "Racing is what they are bred for"THINK ABOUT THAT!as for being in our beef burgers thats the treatment & my whole point in question!
If the horses don't want to run they will refuse to start so they have a perfectly good choice
+Terry Barthram You have found a way to actually make horses do things that they do not want to do, Mr Barthram? Great. How much do you charge for riding lessons?
Easter Monday at Auteuil in France, Mister Bali, Poli Boy, DJ Apples, Puyfolais and Gold Khomeini all died during races on the card. I am all for animal rights but start in France first. The fences there almost invite failure.
Well done
