He clearly gets up fine and can be seen running away. He can again be seen running loose as the horses approach the straight for the final time. The fences are tiny, they would be only called hurdles in Ireland. Steeplechasing is far less dangerous than running on dirt, the attrition rate there would be totally unacceptable in UK.
Commentator says faller and Jockey were ok and by the way in the UK and Ireland Jump racing hurdles and steeple chasing are as safe as any form of horse sport that involves jumping.
I'm sure MrAsia was just fine, those are low fences and he fell on his side, as he was falling he pulled his head to the side so I don't think he or the rider suffered injuries.
cf1970 do you have more Breeders Cup Steeplechase if you do please could you upload more of The Breeders Cup Steeplechase it would be nice to see Jump racing in USA it will make change from the Breeders Cup flat racing
Loved it! What a refreshing and beautiful "side dish" for you to serve up, CF. :-)
Great upload by the way.
that was scary when that one horse fell, glad the horse and rider are ok. any way I loved it.
Great video cf...will "pass it on". BTW..how did jockey and horse turn out after fall???

Now I know where the BHA and aintree got their inspiration for the new grand national "fences"
Considering the horse galloped away, hes fine....
Yeah buddy! An American horse wins a mostly European sport!
Steeplechasing should not be happening!! It's too dangerous. The horse that fell could have easily died!
