Love this - there's so much captured on this otherwise and often missed. The exchanges between jockeys from the genuine and sincere words of good luck and best wishes at the start, the loud shouts mid-race to tell others to keep out the way and then heartfelt congratulations at the end. I competed in XC and endurance riding for years and was always big on encouragement and praise in-between jumps more so with a tired horse which could be anything from a quick pat and “Good lad” to lots of casual but humorous effing and jeffing mixed in with “Whooops” Euurggh!!!” and “WHEEE!!” There are times a horse really doesn't have anything else left in which case you have to pull up. Jockeys didn't used to have that worry once upon a time but we've moved on since then thankfully. The few times I made that mistake (instantly and bitterly regretted) the horse let me know by running out or refusing a fence sending me arse over tit. One or two would clip fences we should have cleared at a leisurely trot so I knew they were all out, pulled up and retired. I lived and rode this race - shatting myself at the first fence and gasping in excitement after safely clearing the last and feeling that sense of “Holy shit - we're over and almost home sweet - c'mon we can do this long run home C'MON!!” and you can see those two ears pricking back up and getting those last few drops out the tank. Brilliant ride and partnership. PS. Canal Turn made me go "Eeeeeeesssshhhiiitt..."

Excellent video. Many Clouds ran a perfect race. There are quite a few helmet cam eventing videos on TH-cam, but this one of the world's toughest horse race is extraordinary.
This might be the best video I have ever seen. How it’s taken me this long to watch it I don’t know. Amazing. Love the big jump at the ditch and the wooooo from Leighton. What a horse.
Thankyou so much for sharing this amazing journey, Congrats on the fantastic win. Anybody that saids horse racing is cruel needs to watch this, the jockey was nothing but kind and encouraging to this beautiful horse and the horse responded with running and winning, a great race by horse and jockey.
If you like riding along with the jockey, watch the eventing cross country videos by Elisa Wallace. Similar distance and pace, but it's just one horse and rider with much trickier jumps.
I'm surprised by how many horses fell over. They give it their all - for the human entertainment - and so many end up injured/dead :( At least the jockeys get a choice if they want to take that risk. Its sad
Courtney Mears you can’t speak for every trainer. A lot of horses are injured and worse because of this “sport” . I’m not a fan of this type of racing. Of course I can’t speak for every rider, but with the amount of dead, injured, filmed abuse and reports there are a lot of bad riders out there.
Let’s be honest honey. That’s because the positive things that happen are never spread around. Our society clings onto the negative things, and never celebrates the positive, especially when it comes to equine sports
Greasy Arc Gaming Actually there is some good spread around. That’s why I said not every rider. But also this “sport”tends to hide all of the terrible things that they do and only bring to light the good. there’s a good and bad to everything. But with this I feel that the bad substantially outweighs the good. I am sorry to say but i believe no amount of wishy-washy good this good that well change my mind.
im sure secretariat would laugh at this comment. if not this sport we would have never known about beauty called secretariat and many others. because of animal sports they go down in the history and people will always remember them .
@@lisa4680 he's literally up front you're pretending as if he's running in the back all chill or summ. These horses care snout as much about being first as their riders. The riders need to hold the horses back which is why that rider less horse was upfront in the first place! You can hear the guy telling his horse to mit go too fast! They're not trying to push their horses to their limit the entire race. The riders are the ones keeping them from pushing themselves too much.
@@t3rrortoff33 if the riders are looking out for their horse then why do so many collapse or die of a heart attack after a race ? A riderless horse has never run itself to death !
lisa f they don’t run them to death?? Heart attacks are very unexpected and can happen to horses in all disciplines. There is a number of things that can cause them. Take Scat Daddy for example. Suffered from an apparent heart attack when he was leaving his paddock. Please actually educate yourself on racing and equine health by reading unbiased articles and studies done by professionals.
@@equinext2339 the poor thing probably had a heart attack after being drugged in his stable with something to "speed him up" on the racecourse. Horseracing is outdated and barbaric.
dont lie, he died of pulmonary haemorrhage ( bleed on the lung very rare condition ) nothing to do with exhaustion, www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/38802811
I never thought I would have a chance to ride the Grand National! And be on the winner. So exciting. I have been on flat race horse. it really felt awesome to ride in a race again. Very nice horse. Thank you for taking us with you.
What a fantastic opportunity to see every aspect of the greatest racer in the world through the winning jockey's eyes! Ears pricked the whole way round; Clouds you will always be one of the greatest!
Breathless...that was awesome... and I've been watching racing for over 40 years. I love the part from two-out when you can just FEEL his utter determination, whilst wanting to coax his horse home without destroying its chance, with the likes of AP in his wake. Just shows what a superb jockey (under-rated?) we had in Leighton Aspell. We will miss him.
This is really positive because he talked to the horse to reassure he was doing a good job this is what I like to see I’m not saying a agree with some horse races but I liked how he did this x
This video made me a steeplechase fan. Mild curiosity and a love of horses got me to start watching the clip. By the end of the race, I had tears in my ears. Marvelous display of spirit and competition. Thanks for posting. Consider me a new fan from across the pond.
#19 is the reddest bay I have ever seen, very pretty, cool video! Congrats to Many Clouds and his connections, had no idea this video existed lol also that thing reflected at the bottom of the screen looks like a speedometer XD
Leighton Aspell is a top horseman to think he retired and came back to ride 2 national winners one after the other.yes you have got to have a good horse but it still takes a good jockey to get them round.
And sometime later Many Clouds was raced in a race where it was pushed way too much forward, had a heart attack and died. He was too old for this and no one wanted to retire him. This industry is fricked up, thank you.
Shut Up I agree. They aren’t actually whipping them though, they make a sound so the horse goes faster but it doesn’t touch the horse. I used to think they were whipping them until I met several jockeys and they said they love their horses, they would never whip them.
How awesome was that, such bravery from all the horses & jockeys involved with the National, demonstrated so wonderfully here through Many Clouds and Leighton Aspell 😍
You're not 15, you act like a fucking five year old, play sso and have a fucking pony as a profile pic. do you seriously think someone will believe your bullshit?

that's amazing footage.....Brave, brave folks that get on and do that. Literally got left in front in the blink of an eye with 3 to go.... I knew the result already and was still riding it home with him!
Sorry in advance for the length of this, but.... They most certainly did whip the horse. And yes, it does hurt. Controversial to popular belief, horses do not have thick skin. A horse's epidermis is actually as thin and thinner than a human's epidermis. Couple that with how many nerve endings are packed in there, noting the fact that they can feel a fly land on them, and you wind up with an animal that has very sensitive skin. A whip/crop is supposed to be used as a directional tool, as horses are the pressure and release type. And, they do feel the pain, even if they don't show it. They, as well as many other prey animals, have evolved to not show pain. Think about it. If you were a wild horse and looked to be injured or in pain, who would the predators go after? If you whip yourself and it hurts, it hurts the horse. There are actually quite a few studies about this. Once again, sorry for the length.
amateur AQUATICS im only 14 so i don’t know much. But i am very sure that horses running til their heart bursts or they break their legs isn’t amazing😐
@@ValiantWriterwatching animals do what they are bred for is amazing. They could break a leg running in a field from a rabbit hole .if you dont like it then dont watch it.you will only anger yourself.
@@alexsaquatics7620 difference is tho..if u broke a leg u wouldn't get put down or shot on a race track. These poor horses have no choice and are made to compete for the entertainment of people like you. Who decided their life is worth less than yours ? The owners the money makers !!!
Theres no race in the world more exciting than the national. It always brings back good memories of my pops years ago it really is that kinda day for me lol
Ahaha yea that shows they really love their work (btw the people riding aren’t the owners they are the jockeys the owners ask certain jockeys to ride their horse in a race )
Courtney Mears Have you seen American horse racing recently? If not then that is a pass, but WAY too many horses have been reported as dying here recently especially at Santa Anita. And those are only the ones that have been reported. I think horse racing could be a cool sport, but some of the practices need to be modernized to help improve the longevity of the horses after the track and the stereotype around the Thoroughbred name.
Quinn Nightworth LOVE HORSES RACING. I'VE BEEN AROUND RACING HORSES SINCE I WAS 14 yrs old, MY Uncle has RACE HORSES IN EL PASO, TX; & I worked with him and as well at the JOCKEY CLUB! LOTS of GREAT STORIES! "SPECIAL EFFORT" WON THE TRIPLE CROWN IN RUIDOSO, NM! FR THEIR ON MY LIFE WAS GREAT SEEING AMAZING RACING!!👍🐴🐎🍀
What a tremendous racehorse..So very sad he died the way he did. In this video the jockey Leighton Aspell encourages the horse throughout the race and is not over using his whip. This racehorse was all guts and courage. The racing people have lost a truely great animal.....RIP Big Fella.....and Thankyou
Here we go...wondered when the animal cruelty bollox was going to surface. Jockeys know that if a horse won't go for one smack, it certainly won't go for two. Often, the whip is used to keep the horse balanced, or it's against their boot to keep the rhythm- the horse doesn't get unmercifully beaten when it's already trying it's best- the jockey knows if ever a horse came back with weals on it, not only would he have to face the vet and the stewards, but the wrath of the owner and trainer as well!. It is very unfortunate that Many Clouds died, and he gave everything he had, but to try and point the finger at the jockey for " whipping the horse furiously" is totally ludicrous, but at least it's a change from how cruel it is making them jump fences. Lastly, if you've got half a ton of horse, going at 30 mph, and he doesn't want to jump a fence- what is the ONLY outcome?
you may not know or you might but many clouds collapsed after the GN, it was discovered he had a breathing problem and was operated on. So for people who really don't know much about racing usually after a race the horse will be thoroughly checked out for problems. The reason they passed the channel turn on the second circuit was because of Balthzaar King who fell at that fence first time round. The horse survived his ordeal and did get up, he'd actually broken his ribs and was off the road for over a year but he did make it back. His life was in the balance for quite a time, so you see the horses are really well looked after.
the reason he collapsed was because of his breathing problem. He was operated on and then had no problems, in my day they called it hobdaying. but thank god its far more sophiscated today. Many Clouds was the statue of a horse that looked wrong it was just is presence. He looked like he couldn't run up the stairs half the time. but he was a smashing horse, so please don't blame the trainer or anyone associated with him for his death. I was out hacking my mare when she pulled up short and I thought her tendons had gone but even in trot she plummeted to the ground with a heart attack and was dead. she was only 10 as well. YOU CANNOT PREDICT A HEART ATTACK IN A HORSE. They can have fibrulating hearts like SS did and so did Night Nurse, the former horse won 32 races as well.
because some many people out there condemn racing as wicked and have been criticising colin tizzard and if you like abusing TC then saying MC shouldn't have been racing because of his breathing problem. So the more people who read and schinff about my comments at least I know that someone has read it; This last race he died from a heart attack. If you watch the end of the gn he's being attended to pretty quickly but he was exhausted but you don't know these things until they happen, then his problem was solved by an operation for his breathing. HE WAS A TRULY OLD FASHIONED TB, with loads and loads of guts.
they were using electro stimuli on him in the race he died. They caused his heart attack and breathing problems. ...have you ever received electro stimuli ? it makes it extremely difficult to breath and DOES have a high potential to cause low rate sinus bradycardia aka heart attack. And Yes, I have felt electro stimuli, the kind used on horses, however at a much lower voltage obviously but it was still incredibly painfull and left me short of breath for days.
@@Rachel-ft2bi Not in UK banned. In Australia and America yes they are called jiggers. You obviously don't have a great knowledge of British Horse racing.
@@brandonlitts7377 listen horse racing is NOT horse nature. We are not even supposed to be on them in the first place... horse racing is disgusting it kills so many horses. but if you want to stand there and say that it's horse nature and think that there is nothing wrong with it shame on you. you need to go see a doctor because something in your brain is not right if you think it's ok after seeing that video
mai sommerstedt Wanna know what also is not horse nature? Having us on their back. Horse racing is not abusive if done properly. Yes, there are a few bad apples, but the breakdown rate is only 1.5%. Drugging is banned, and you can only use a crop if you use it a certain amount of times. There is tons of horses who get killed in jumping, barrel racing, and other events, but due to those industries not being as popular, they aren’t documented.
@@freezer7790 yes horses die in jumping but it is soooooooo rare if you look at horse racing😕 200 horses died in only british racing 🤷♀️and if so many horses die there is something wrong with it... I'm not saying that you are bad people but just do bad things 👌
Back in the late 50's or early 60's, there was a thoroughbred race horse called Noballsatall, He was a gelding, some of the announcers were bothered by having to call out his name in a race. a different politically or morally speech standard back then. I think I may still have the old newspaper clipping in my scrap book, don't remember if it was in the Chicago Sun Times or in one of the 2 San Francisco news papers at the time. Loved this video, got an Adrenalin rush watching it. Don't see much steeple chase racing here in USA, it's even hard to find harness racing , on tv ,much less at a track. Thanks to all the various racing channels and TH-cam, I can get my fill.
horselover510 horse Except not doing it lol. Just flat race. I just don’t understand why this is a thing. People and horse get seriously hurt which is awful and the jumps don’t add all that much. Just seems like unnecessary risk imo.
I don't think most horses actually don't like to be patted ,think about it, you are basically slapping them. there has actually been a study on it. troton.com/blogs/item/158-do-horses-like-being-patted-as-a-reward Dogs seem to like it but horses are different. Horses show affection by grooming around the withers so scratching there would be much nicer. But I think at that point after a race the reward is being allowed to slow down and it being over!
horse racing sucks. the horse falls. breaks it’s leg. gets covered up by a green screen. gets euthanized. loaded on a trailer. covered up by a tarp. and buried. worst part is no one does anything about it.
Bulllllllllllshiiiiiiiiiiiiiit i had my doubts when i first became a vet and if the horse falls we just need to bandage it and help it , possibly recommend opperations to fix ,
then you don`t understand Jack Shit about horses. Better feel sorry for the horses in commercial stables, gettin wasted by frustrated citypeople. If i could come back as an animal it would be as a racehorse. They give me the best food and treatment, i can run all the time and if i`m good enough i get to be a pornstar on a breedingfarm till my dying day.
Most racehorses love to run. Look at that one without a rider in the vid. He kept going cuz he loved it. He knew darn well his rider wasnt there and he kept racing. In fact the jockeys are there to monitor their pace so they dont hurt themselves. But yes they love what they do
@Michael Burkinshaw if you have to scare ore threaten the horse i dont think its a good sport to support. I think you can make animals love there job. Just the fact that they dont wanna go in to the start box.
Nathalie Swahn they do love it. The jockey is just trying to ensure that the horse is going as fast as he can. This is not a fear tactic, the horses are usually trained to respond to these cues, like clicking to make a horse go faster and squeezing with you legs to encourage them to go faster. Jockeys can’t squeeze the horse with their legs, so they use their voice. They also wave the crop beside the horse’s face, as they’re only allowed to hit the horse a certain number of times
Probably the heat of the moment. think of yourself in that situation, with that many riders and probably a lot of money on the race, seeing the finish line would make your adrenaline go %150 . I dont think anyone would be able to hold their emotions of excitement.
A horse is much more likely to be injured in a fall due to the speed and their physiology. Then they are much more likely to be shot if the injury is going to prevent them racing at full capacity.
Yes, but thankfully these last few years there has been hardly any losses to the grand national. The jumps get less harsh every year, taking into consideration where the horses make faults so that they can improve their time on the track. I don't know if you have ever watched secretariat, but that just shows how much some horses love what they do. Horses are lots more sturdy than humans and although some of the falls do look nasty, they get up hardly without a scratch in the grand national. I agree its awful to look at, but the chances of severe injury lately is not very high. Hope you can watch it this year without feeling too bad :)
@@Saturaz I Will not say that horses always are more sturdy then humans because when they fall over a jump or fall when they run because the tripped the have all of their own body weight falling on them too so if a horse lands on it's head or neck they break their neck because of the weight crushing it. and even tho there did not die as many horses this year does not make it less disgusting. horse racing is cruel they whip the shit out of their horses most horses are abused and if they are not fast egnough they kill them. this disciplin should get removed from the horse world just as some country disciplins. I hope that humans get in their right minds not to do this shit to a animal some day... It's a shame...
i've been to trevour hemmings yard, super nice place. i love that he has his racing thoroughbreds and these huge, stocky sufollk punches. the suffolk punch i met wanted nothing to do with me but the 2 year old thoroughbred was such a sweet horse.
I wish all these people who dont own horses wouldnt give their 2 cents on the subject. Its like me telling you whats best for owning your dog, yet i dont own a fucking dog. You need to grow up
@@Brickcellent They don't love being hit, whipped, yelled at, being told whos "boss". Horses would much rather sit around and eat hay that do this, sure they can run but they can do that so they can get to food, water and escape predators not to participate in stupid human crap.

@Courtney Mears That's BS they do not enjoy this shit. If you support this sport you are condoning animal abuse.
im sure secretariat would laugh at this comment. if not this sport we would have never known about beauty called secretariat and many others. because of animal sports they go down in the history and people will always remember them .
I love how the riderless horse leads the pack pretty well the whole time
Runs his own race without instructions from the money makers.
@@lisa4680 he's literally up front you're pretending as if he's running in the back all chill or summ. These horses care snout as much about being first as their riders. The riders need to hold the horses back which is why that rider less horse was upfront in the first place! You can hear the guy telling his horse to mit go too fast! They're not trying to push their horses to their limit the entire race. The riders are the ones keeping them from pushing themselves too much.
@@t3rrortoff33 if the riders are looking out for their horse then why do so many collapse or die of a heart attack after a race ? A riderless horse has never run itself to death !
lisa f they don’t run them to death?? Heart attacks are very unexpected and can happen to horses in all disciplines. There is a number of things that can cause them. Take Scat Daddy for example. Suffered from an apparent heart attack when he was leaving his paddock. Please actually educate yourself on racing and equine health by reading unbiased articles and studies done by professionals.
@@equinext2339 the poor thing probably had a heart attack after being drugged in his stable with something to "speed him up" on the racecourse. Horseracing is outdated and barbaric.
Had to watch this again today! RIP Many Clouds
What happened to Many Clouds?
Died of exhaustion after his win in the cotswold chase last year.
dont lie, he died of pulmonary haemorrhage ( bleed on the lung very rare condition ) nothing to do with exhaustion, www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/38802811
A true warrior, never gave up.
@@hughwatkin9950 That’s a lie the bbc want you to believe. They killed him.
What a champion of a horse, rest in peace Many Clouds. We'll miss you. Way to make your mark ❤🏇
sorry but i snorted so hard when i heard that "shut the front door" is actually a name :'D
I cried about this. Rip many clouds. You were always my baby😢
*Blue Bear* !! Don’t be sad :(
I cried watching it at 5 an
I never thought I would have a chance to ride the Grand National! And be on the winner. So exciting. I have been on flat race horse. it really felt awesome to ride in a race again. Very nice horse.
Thank you for taking us with you.
I cannot keep a straight face everytime he says 'shut the front door'
What a fantastic opportunity to see every aspect of the greatest racer in the world through the winning jockey's eyes! Ears pricked the whole way round; Clouds you will always be one of the greatest!
This was fun to watch. These horses and jockeys are so fit. Great win!

Hello how are you doing
Breathless...that was awesome... and I've been watching racing for over 40 years. I love the part from two-out when you can just FEEL his utter determination, whilst wanting to coax his horse home without destroying its chance, with the likes of AP in his wake. Just shows what a superb jockey (under-rated?) we had in Leighton Aspell. We will miss him.
Amazing footage. How Leighton can ride, win the National and hold a camera is unbelievable.
James Coburn the camera is attatched to his helmet...no skill there.
It was a joke Rachel :-)
....and the tape recorder and mike, too, of course
I was clenching my buttcheeks just watching
This is really positive because he talked to the horse to reassure he was doing a good job this is what I like to see I’m not saying a agree with some horse races but I liked how he did this x
This video made me a steeplechase fan. Mild curiosity and a love of horses got me to start watching the clip. By the end of the race, I had tears in my ears. Marvelous display of spirit and competition. Thanks for posting. Consider me a new fan from across the pond.
What a lovely jockey speaking to his horse
This is so amazing! Congrats to Many Clouds!
#19 is the reddest bay I have ever seen, very pretty, cool video! Congrats to Many Clouds and his connections, had no idea this video existed lol also that thing reflected at the bottom of the screen looks like a speedometer XD
109367 my mare in the picture is that red when she has had a bath
What an experience. I am blown away, wow! Thank you.
Leighton Aspell is a top horseman to think he retired and came back to ride 2 national winners one after the other.yes you have got to have a good horse but it still takes a good jockey to get them round.
And sometime later Many Clouds was raced in a race where it was pushed way too much forward, had a heart attack and died. He was too old for this and no one wanted to retire him. This industry is fricked up, thank you.
I'm so late to this but I was looking for this comment ty
Well said....they don't love the horses, just the money.
www.bbc.com/sport/horse-racing/38802811
He didn’t die of a heart attack, and it had nothing to do specifically with horse racing either.
That was so amazing to watch. Horses are such beautiful creatures.
Niki Coleman such beautiful creatures that don’t deserve to get whipped and ridden at such a young age
Shut Up I agree. They aren’t actually whipping them though, they make a sound so the horse goes faster but it doesn’t touch the horse. I used to think they were whipping them until I met several jockeys and they said they love their horses, they would never whip them.
isobel 16adamsi I watched the video again and I honestly can’t see any jockeys whipping their horses. Please time stamp some of them.
How awesome was that, such bravery from all the horses & jockeys involved with the National, demonstrated so wonderfully here through Many Clouds and Leighton Aspell 😍
What’s so great about battering the living snot out of horses then screaming at them?
@@danielledewitt1idiot
The "give me a kiss" just had me dead 😂
I swear I have watched this over 100 times it is so great, can not wait till its my turn
MY DREAM IN ONE VIDEO!!! OMG I LOVE THIS!! Im only 15 but i want to be a jockey so bad!!
You're not 15, you act like a fucking five year old, play sso and have a fucking pony as a profile pic. do you seriously think someone will believe your bullshit?
Luna ofc harsh 0-0
Im 16 now, just turned 16. I can have what ever i want on my profile, I can have a name from one of my favourite games I can love horses if i want to. I can love ponies. You should consider that i don't really give a fuck about what you say. You don't know me, you don't know who i really am kay Maybe you should stop being that kind of person to ruin peoples lives in one fake comment. I can be what ever I want. I don't really care if you don't believe me.
How did you know it was from star stable? Means you play it too, or watch it. So you can't go around and say that its all BS, Obviously you had to see it some where.
If she took some of her time just to see your channel and criticize it, I have to say, she's a very sad person...
Don't listen to that, anybody can love anything and dream to become whatever they want. I hope you'll become a great jokey one day :3
Thank god for this you tube clip giving us all a chance to see what it was like to win the
National on him.RIP MANY CLOUDS
Who names a horse
*shut the front door*
Imagine it, if their horse wins there gonna be someone who just might say "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR THEY DID?!"
Lol lolzy haha! Lol
Idk
that's amazing footage.....Brave, brave folks that get on and do that. Literally got left in front in the blink of an eye with 3 to go.... I knew the result already and was still riding it home with him!
i know i may seem SUPER clueless about racing but didn’t it hurt the horse when he beat it with a whip at the end?
They don't hit them they use the sound of it
Sorry in advance for the length of this, but....
They most certainly did whip the horse. And yes, it does hurt. Controversial to popular belief, horses do not have thick skin. A horse's epidermis is actually as thin and thinner than a human's epidermis. Couple that with how many nerve endings are packed in there, noting the fact that they can feel a fly land on them, and you wind up with an animal that has very sensitive skin. A whip/crop is supposed to be used as a directional tool, as horses are the pressure and release type. And, they do feel the pain, even if they don't show it. They, as well as many other prey animals, have evolved to not show pain. Think about it. If you were a wild horse and looked to be injured or in pain, who would the predators go after?
If you whip yourself and it hurts, it hurts the horse. There are actually quite a few studies about this. Once again, sorry for the length.
one of the best sporting videos i've ever seen simply amazing
No matter how many horses or people getting hurt they still allow this.
Because its amazing
amateur AQUATICS im only 14 so i don’t know much. But i am very sure that horses running til their heart bursts or they break their legs isn’t amazing😐
@@ValiantWriterwatching animals do what they are bred for is amazing. They could break a leg running in a field from a rabbit hole .if you dont like it then dont watch it.you will only anger yourself.
@@ValiantWriter i agree with u its so cruel. I stopped watching years ago but it still goes on and gets in the news...it makes me sick.
@@alexsaquatics7620 difference is tho..if u broke a leg u wouldn't get put down or shot on a race track. These poor horses have no choice and are made to compete for the entertainment of people like you. Who decided their life is worth less than yours ? The owners the money makers !!!
For a few minutes there I was the jockey winning the grand national.. ... many cloud THANKS . 👍🏻
I like seeing it through the jockey point of view
Theres no race in the world more exciting than the national. It always brings back good memories of my pops years ago it really is that kinda day for me lol
nicely done but I like how some of the horses whenmtheir owner falls off just keep running that's funny
Ha, yeah, they still want to run, whether they've got someone on their back or not.
Ahaha yea that shows they really love their work (btw the people riding aren’t the owners they are the jockeys the owners ask certain jockeys to ride their horse in a race )
What a great insight into such a powerful sport and a terrifying race to be in but bet a buzz to partake in
Does anybody think that these horses might get tire running for so long, to be beaten on the last stretch? Poor horses
None of the horses that fell in this video died.
Courtney Mears Have you seen American horse racing recently? If not then that is a pass, but WAY too many horses have been reported as dying here recently especially at Santa Anita. And those are only the ones that have been reported. I think horse racing could be a cool sport, but some of the practices need to be modernized to help improve the longevity of the horses after the track and the stereotype around the Thoroughbred name.
uff, I feel so much adrenalin just from watching this :) Thank You for sharing this amazing experience with us
AMAZING
JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING
Quinn Nightworth LOVE HORSES RACING. I'VE BEEN AROUND RACING HORSES SINCE I WAS 14 yrs old, MY Uncle has RACE HORSES IN EL PASO, TX; & I worked with him and as well at the JOCKEY CLUB! LOTS of GREAT STORIES! "SPECIAL EFFORT" WON THE TRIPLE CROWN IN RUIDOSO, NM! FR THEIR ON MY LIFE WAS GREAT SEEING AMAZING RACING!!👍🐴🐎🍀
What a tremendous racehorse..So very sad he died the way he did. In this video the jockey Leighton Aspell encourages the horse throughout the race and is not over using his whip. This racehorse was all guts and courage. The racing people have lost a truely great animal.....RIP Big Fella.....and Thankyou
Here we go...wondered when the animal cruelty bollox was going to surface. Jockeys know that if a horse won't go for one smack, it certainly won't go for two. Often, the whip is used to keep the horse balanced, or it's against their boot to keep the rhythm- the horse doesn't get unmercifully beaten when it's already trying it's best- the jockey knows if ever a horse came back with weals on it, not only would he have to face the vet and the stewards, but the wrath of the owner and trainer as well!. It is very unfortunate that Many Clouds died, and he gave everything he had, but to try and point the finger at the jockey for " whipping the horse furiously" is totally ludicrous, but at least it's a change from how cruel it is making them jump fences. Lastly, if you've got half a ton of horse, going at 30 mph, and he doesn't want to jump a fence- what is the ONLY outcome?
MrNonch1 Merely stating facts. Don't like the facts then carry on supporting horse racing you all hail animal cruelty people.
you may not know or you might but many clouds collapsed after the GN, it was discovered he had a breathing problem and was operated on. So for people who really don't know much about racing usually after a race the horse will be thoroughly checked out for problems. The reason they passed the channel turn on the second circuit was because of Balthzaar King who fell at that fence first time round. The horse survived his ordeal and did get up, he'd actually broken his ribs and was off the road for over a year but he did make it back. His life was in the balance for quite a time, so you see the horses are really well looked after.
the reason he collapsed was because of his breathing problem. He was operated on and then had no problems, in my day they called it hobdaying. but thank god its far more sophiscated today. Many Clouds was the statue of a horse that looked wrong it was just is presence. He looked like he couldn't run up the stairs half the time. but he was a smashing horse, so please don't blame the trainer or anyone associated with him for his death. I was out hacking my mare when she pulled up short and I thought her tendons had gone but even in trot she plummeted to the ground with a heart attack and was dead. she was only 10 as well. YOU CANNOT PREDICT A HEART ATTACK IN A HORSE. They can have fibrulating hearts like SS did and so did Night Nurse, the former horse won 32 races as well.
because some many people out there condemn racing as wicked and have been criticising colin tizzard and if you like abusing TC then saying MC shouldn't have been racing because of his breathing problem. So the more people who read and schinff about my comments at least I know that someone has read it; This last race he died from a heart attack. If you watch the end of the gn he's being attended to pretty quickly but he was exhausted but you don't know these things until they happen, then his problem was solved by an operation for his breathing. HE WAS A TRULY OLD FASHIONED TB, with loads and loads of guts.
only if they are proven money makers.
they were using electro stimuli on him in the race he died. They caused his heart attack and breathing problems. ...have you ever received electro stimuli ? it makes it extremely difficult to breath and DOES have a high potential to cause low rate sinus bradycardia aka heart attack.
And Yes, I have felt electro stimuli, the kind used on horses, however at a much lower voltage obviously but it was still incredibly painfull and left me short of breath for days.
@@Rachel-ft2bi Not in UK banned. In Australia and America yes they are called jiggers. You obviously don't have a great knowledge of British Horse racing.
I think I'll stick with my down to earth quarter horse and barrel racing lol
Great race! Great Jockey and horse! Thank you very much for this video!
I hate horse racing but I love horses.
...
That is because you know nothing of their nature
@@brandonlitts7377 listen horse racing is NOT horse nature. We are not even supposed to be on them in the first place... horse racing is disgusting it kills so many horses. but if you want to stand there and say that it's horse nature and think that there is nothing wrong with it shame on you. you need to go see a doctor because something in your brain is not right if you think it's ok after seeing that video
@@maisommerstedt316 👏👏👏 well said
mai sommerstedt Wanna know what also is not horse nature? Having us on their back. Horse racing is not abusive if done properly. Yes, there are a few bad apples, but the breakdown rate is only 1.5%. Drugging is banned, and you can only use a crop if you use it a certain amount of times. There is tons of horses who get killed in jumping, barrel racing, and other events, but due to those industries not being as popular, they aren’t documented.
@@freezer7790 yes horses die in jumping but it is soooooooo rare if you look at horse racing😕 200 horses died in only british racing 🤷♀️and if so many horses die there is something wrong with it... I'm not saying that you are bad people but just do bad things 👌
Amazing onboard cam of this great winner... breath taking.
Man... VR gaming has come a long way, hasn't it?
LOL
Back in the late 50's or early 60's, there was a thoroughbred race horse called Noballsatall, He was a gelding, some of the announcers were bothered by having to call out his name in a race. a different politically or morally speech standard back then. I think I may still have the old newspaper clipping in my scrap book, don't remember if it was in the Chicago Sun Times or in one of the 2 San Francisco news papers at the time. Loved this video, got an Adrenalin rush watching it. Don't see much steeple chase racing here in USA, it's even hard to find harness racing , on tv ,much less at a track. Thanks to all the various racing channels and TH-cam, I can get my fill.
Why people enjoy watching horses falling?
We enjoy watching the race not the horses falling. Yes I feel bad for them but theirs nothing we can really do.
horselover510 horse Except not doing it lol. Just flat race. I just don’t understand why this is a thing. People and horse get seriously hurt which is awful and the jumps don’t add all that much. Just seems like unnecessary risk imo.
@@madysonsmith6689 yeah I prefer flat races though. Their a lot more interesting.
It is interesting to see that jockeys openly discuss their riding strategy.
That horse has a lovely irish accent there, quite interesting observations too.
Missed the national this year hopefully we can all get through the covid and its resumes soon
Let me guess... *YOUR HORSE HAS SECRETARIAT BLOODLINE IN 'EM*
RIP many clouds you won so many amazing things and where a fantastic race horse and we will never forget you xxxx😭😭❤️❤️
Wow! That's not easy riding.
Incredible Thanks G B racing Team
Never even patted the horse well done ffs 🙄
I don't think most horses actually don't like to be patted ,think about it, you are basically slapping them. there has actually been a study on it. troton.com/blogs/item/158-do-horses-like-being-patted-as-a-reward Dogs seem to like it but horses are different. Horses show affection by grooming around the withers so scratching there would be much nicer. But I think at that point after a race the reward is being allowed to slow down and it being over!
Took me away with how awesomely fast you took from the gates!
No Many Clouds Rip 😭
We need more of this
horse racing sucks.
the horse falls.
breaks it’s leg.
gets covered up by a green screen.
gets euthanized.
loaded on a trailer.
covered up by a tarp.
and buried.
worst part is no one does anything about it.
then why are you watching horse racing videos xD
Nocturne I am spreading awareness about the situation.
Bulllllllllllshiiiiiiiiiiiiiit i had my doubts when i first became a vet and if the horse falls we just need to bandage it and help it , possibly recommend opperations to fix ,
Got to love the casual & chaotic way some of these English races start.
great finish
What a view and what a ride just goes to show you what thay go through in a race like this
I feel so sorry for race horses.....😞
Equestrian_Taylor210 Why
EM#1 they get abused
then you don`t understand Jack Shit about horses. Better feel sorry for the horses in commercial stables, gettin wasted by frustrated citypeople. If i could come back as an animal it would be as a racehorse. They give me the best food and treatment, i can run all the time and if i`m good enough i get to be a pornstar on a breedingfarm till my dying day.
Most racehorses love to run. Look at that one without a rider in the vid. He kept going cuz he loved it. He knew darn well his rider wasnt there and he kept racing. In fact the jockeys are there to monitor their pace so they dont hurt themselves. But yes they love what they do
Horses will naturally run in a group as to avoid danger - its a fear response, not a love of running!
This was great to watch. It is exciting to ride like that. I rode racehorses for 15 years.
The horse does such a good job for you. I dont feel its nesseary to whip it over and over.
@Michael Burkinshaw if you have to scare ore threaten the horse i dont think its a good sport to support. I think you can make animals love there job.
Just the fact that they dont wanna go in to the start box.
Julya Flyer are you one of those people that thinks bits are abuse
Nathalie Swahn they do love it. The jockey is just trying to ensure that the horse is going as fast as he can. This is not a fear tactic, the horses are usually trained to respond to these cues, like clicking to make a horse go faster and squeezing with you legs to encourage them to go faster. Jockeys can’t squeeze the horse with their legs, so they use their voice. They also wave the crop beside the horse’s face, as they’re only allowed to hit the horse a certain number of times
Probably the heat of the moment. think of yourself in that situation, with that many riders and probably a lot of money on the race, seeing the finish line would make your adrenaline go %150 . I dont think anyone would be able to hold their emotions of excitement.
Michael Burkinshaw Well don’t. It’s abuse.
Muy buen vídeo. Magnificas imágenes. Gracias por subirlo. Thank you.
Hitting the horses should be banned
motorcycle goalkeeper Horse racing should be banned.
R.I.P. Many Clouds. GOOD BOY!!
I can't watch this all of them falling it's horrible
lilyby a lot of horses die by it so it kind of is
As long as they get up I guess its all right its like usain bolt falling as long as he gets up his all right
A horse is much more likely to be injured in a fall due to the speed and their physiology. Then they are much more likely to be shot if the injury is going to prevent them racing at full capacity.
Yes, but thankfully these last few years there has been hardly any losses to the grand national. The jumps get less harsh every year, taking into consideration where the horses make faults so that they can improve their time on the track. I don't know if you have ever watched secretariat, but that just shows how much some horses love what they do.
Horses are lots more sturdy than humans and although some of the falls do look nasty, they get up hardly without a scratch in the grand national. I agree its awful to look at, but the chances of severe injury lately is not very high. Hope you can watch it this year without feeling too bad :)
@@Saturaz I Will not say that horses always are more sturdy then humans because when they fall over a jump or fall when they run because the tripped the have all of their own body weight falling on them too so if a horse lands on it's head or neck they break their neck because of the weight crushing it. and even tho there did not die as many horses this year does not make it less disgusting. horse racing is cruel they whip the shit out of their horses most horses are abused and if they are not fast egnough they kill them. this disciplin should get removed from the horse world just as some country disciplins. I hope that humans get in their right minds not to do this shit to a animal some day... It's a shame...
i've been to trevour hemmings yard, super nice place. i love that he has his racing thoroughbreds and these huge, stocky sufollk punches. the suffolk punch i met wanted nothing to do with me but the 2 year old thoroughbred was such a sweet horse.
I don't like it that the jockies hit the horses when the horses have done the whole race
I wish all these people who dont own horses wouldnt give their 2 cents on the subject. Its like me telling you whats best for owning your dog, yet i dont own a fucking dog. You need to grow up
Was that the only horse in the race with the cam on. Unbelievable to actually win the race as well, brilliant.
No. There were additional three camaras on other three horses: Tranquil Sea(finished 7th), Unioniste(fell 5th), Super Duty(pulled up 25th).
Too long and cruel and what for.......bloody money.
Horses are made to run. This is what they love.
@@Brickcellent Until they collapse from exhaustion ofc
@@Brickcellent not this much running and jumping tf
@@Brickcellent They don't love being hit, whipped, yelled at, being told whos "boss". Horses would much rather sit around and eat hay that do this, sure they can run but they can do that so they can get to food, water and escape predators not to participate in stupid human crap.
what a boy Many Clouds was, as brave and true as a horse there was.
