@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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?
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.
The knowledge that man had of horseracing was absolutely unbelievable I'm slightly older than the late Mr Alistair and I've been A gambler for sixty years but even I'd always listen to WTF mr Alistair had to say I remember in the eighties he gave the winner to the Cambridge and i think the other one was the Ayr gold cup he was a wonderful wit all HIS writings were always a pleasure to have first thing in the morning. Rip Alistair Down yourself and Pete o Sullivan can have a right good argument about the changing face of horse racing 🐎🐎🐎

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.
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 .....
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
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
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.
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.
There is another race I’ve seen on TH-cam, 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.
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 is why the bookies love Skelton making sure many of there ,favs don't win and as a double hit on many punters ,when he s not on a fav he wins on unfanced horses bent as fk .
A horse with a sense of humor! Funniest horse race I've ever watched.
how is this funny?! the poor horse is terrified and they all could have been hurt so bad!

Yeah, he has a great sense of humour, you could see the mischief in his face even before the race started. It has to go down as the funniest race ever
Clearly you set your bar for humour quite low@dap777754

i can only guess at what hurdling 3 yr olds is doing to their joints.... YIKES!
@@LizbethGerow nothing. Horses are more than capable of jumping tiny hurdles like this. What do you think they do when they're playing in a field?
Makes the owner question why he needs the jockey 😂
All over the place. Babies not quite ready
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.
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!
snowdragon really said "if i cant win this noone can"
The grey was already spooky at the start
Ears pricked, needs more schooling, The one in blue.was spooked too
well, he IS a dragon..
He was full of mischief, lol
That was so dangerous when the other horses fell I’m so glad they didn’t get hurt
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.
Me too!. He is big and bold looking but crap at jumping which Dessie was not

Grey doesn't know when to jump and doubts itself. Super dangerous
Incredible any of the jockeys managed to stay seated
That second fence was a mini-Foinavon fence. The loose horse(s) ran along the obstacle just as in 1967.
… that’s how they should race - no jocks, just let the horses run it …
Has there ever been a race where no riders finished?
Those horses are having a ball!
No tribute to Alasdair Down on the TH-cam page from Racing TV is extremely poor.
What's happened to him ??
@ DEAD
@GretaWright-x6f sad news
RIP Alistair

what a story he could tell

This wasn´t an accident.
It was a perfectly executed heist. Those two were on a mission, I tell you xd
This is not dramatic.this is traumatic.

Snow Dragon is wild
That race should have been stopped immediately.
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.
I agree to young to know what they're doing 😢
You have to start sometimes !!!
What an absolute mess. 😮

Absolutely effing unbelievable!!!!
As soon as I saw the grey horse alarm bells rang , his eyes were on stalks.
Too many inexperienced horses in one race…quite a risk for a trainer!
Glad all ok tho!!!
And no one when out to catch snow dragon and let that horse almost kill other jockeys and hurt the other horses.
No one gonna talk how the white one looks so goofy and bold
I PLAYED THE TRI BUT RAN OUT OF HORSES…WTF
So pleased the favourite didn't win
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
Maybe start them in a bumper race then?
And a course punter had the nerve to call this a 'bent race ' 🤣
Presumably somebody slipped Snow Dragon a year's supply of carrots to get in the way?
Some people are bad losers and will blame anything but themselves 🤡
@@robnorth480 Come on it obvious he 's been replaced a robot horse ringer.
It was bent look the ride Skelton gave the horse refused to go past him 4 times. Then turned into a sprint after the last.
Can't happen but laugh
Should have stopped the race hope all ok it's.a no

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!
What bollocks! Have you only just started watching horseracing?

2 of these horse had not been schooled enough and were not ready to be raced.
That was Snow Dragon's payback to the humans i am sure
Scrap 3yr old jump races. I’d scrap all under 3 yr olds from racing.

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.
I think that the race should Have Been stoped after the second jump. Does anything likes this exist in horseracing?
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!!!!
It's so funny like Benny Hill's show !!!
Awful, cruel “sport” 😢
What a mess!
I’ve never seen such a race Gordon Bennett
2 of those horses need far more schooling
Gordon Elliott
There is another race I’ve seen on TH-cam, where only one horse is left running the race.

Brave and Beautiful
This is why I love racing.
No actual"Carnage" occurred
Him staying on that spook was _not_ horseman ship just luck and balance
balance IS horsemanship
No…
Balance is skill
@@Theonlineponies the definition of horsemanship is the art of riding and handling horses
Sure..
He said all horses seem fine. NO THERE FRICKIN NOT THIS IS ABUSE
This race is a stark reminder of the state of the British economy.

Please a proper article to Alastair Down
That happens when they walk and don’t run. The horses don’t know they have to jump.
fecker jumped before the fence lmao
hurdle
They should do horse racing but WITHOUT the people there so much faster glad the babys are okay
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. 🤔
The flag spooked him.
are these all 3 yr olds are something??
he done well to win that race.
poor horse fell with is rider
😢😢😮
That first jockey looked to jump off
It was like a Coconut Shy
Racing so unpredictable
The horse got itself winner is so awesome 👏 congratulations for it😢
try that again in English
This race should be called The Tory Party
No, open borders and Islamic immigration....
It certainly looks like some sort of sonic interference could have gone on here. Race should have been stopped
The only sonic interference is with your head.
Foinavan all over again.
Let the jockeys race without horse,behind them a few predators🤬Is this sport? Poor animals
All fall out bar 2 if you bet distances yet still nearly a photo finish you can't write it these days
As they Honour the Man he passed On...Hmmmm some timing...
Horse racing is ethically questionable and is always at the expense of the horses. Please never bet on horses. Thanks
this is hilarious
Another favourite gone.. bookies be laughing
sorry. but i laughed at the white horse. looked like he had a sense of humour. but glad all horses and riders were ok.
Sam twiston Davis, the in_form tries his balls off in every race..say know more bout Skelton...
The fiddle was on early 😂
😢😢😢 fun
Snowdragon, needs to be investigated, sure it has a secret bet on, jack the Boss.
Not worth it. They could lose their licenses for betting against their own mounts.

i dont like racing they go over the limmits of a horse but this was funny
All the trainers, should be fined if a jockey 🏇 had caused any problems he would be fined and suspended. 😮 😮 😮 .
u might find its the sunny causing issues
They were going so slow they couldn`t jump properly
2 badly schooled horses.
This is why the bookies love Skelton making sure many of there ,favs don't win and as a double hit on many punters ,when he s not on a fav he wins on unfanced horses bent as fk .
This is why jump racing needs to go. Dangerous for man and beast!
Well yea but not always
@That_DragonPuppeteer I'm sure all the horses that died or were seriously injured doing jumps appreciate your sentiment.
N skelton still got beat. Corrupt as they come
What do you mean ,,, Corrupt?
