    dang the fact that the starter acted quickly enough to grab that rein right as the horse pushed out of the gate- then held onto him as he spun and bucked. Great job by that guy.

    What a marvellous stallion he's gone on to become - lucky they kept him in one piece that day!

    I was there that day and every roar from the crowd when QR bucked certainly didn't help in calming him down. It was a scary brief moment when QR plunged forward with the blindfold on. The asst. starter who held on to him deserved a huge bonus that day.

    Kudos to the guy who grabbed QR's lead! Man, that has to have been one of the scariest freak outs I've ever seen. I'm glad QR stayed healthy and happy after this incident to race another day! Loved him. Awesome horse.

    The guy who grabbed his lead as he broke through the gate and hung on deserved a HUGE bonus in his paycheck! That horse was literally in a blind panic. He no doubt saved QR's life that day. And I don't care if it is his "job."

    Thank you for posting the Qualiy Road incident. I have never seen an incident quite like that in my 25 years as a horseracing fan. I was telling my firned about the incident and I'm glad he will be able to see it. It was a very scary incident. Thank God the horse is ok.

  • @CastleMc
    @CastleMc 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yes, thanks for posting this. I've seen it before and my concern was largely for the rest of the field-horses that impede the start and endanger everyone else should be scratched regardless of injury. I agree-the man who grabbed him leaving the gate saved the day

  • @Nyquil5
    @Nyquil5 15 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Quality Road definitely had a mental meltdown on this day. He apparently has a history of bad gate behavior. In Breeders Cup coverage for a race earlier in the day, one of the horses in the race had been banned from racing in his own country due to poor gate behavior.
    Just very glad no one was seriously injured or killed. As a riding instructor, I know from experience that any horse at any moment can do enormous damage to themselves and those around them.
    Kudos to Zenyatta, a very special mare

    Quality Road is a great race horse. He did NOT want to go in that day. Many horses can put up a fuss, but rarely are they this insistent. The handlers did all the right things, many of those things work time after time. These horses can be just like little kids who "don't wanna to that!" This time was a little more unusual, but still, everybody came out of it uninjured. WTG handlers!

  • @number1saddlerbed
    @number1saddlerbed 12 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Probably less in fact, the ammount of time they took is one of the longest ive seen. Truthfully though the starters did everything right, they would rub his neck reassuring him, and did much of what they could given the circumstances

  • @Venckman
    @Venckman 15 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    He's always been an unruly loader, helicopter or no helicopter. He's very large, and the gate is particularly claustrophobic for him. It's a well known problem for this particular horse.

  • @bseaman2000
    @bseaman2000 11 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I don't think they took any less time than normal. Horse racing goes on a schedule, and minutes count. Quality Road was simply NOT going in that gate that day. And all the other horses had to sit there and wait, and see/hear the uproar. As far as I can see, everybody did everything right that day.

    • @Boomslang1
      @Boomslang1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      bseaman2000 Absolutely. They gave him the best possible chance to start but it wasn't meant to be.

  • @kwgrid
    @kwgrid 10 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Sort of ironic that QR 'took the studs,' pardon the pun, in 2009 BCC and had to be scratched only to come back in 2010 and almost single-handedly cost Zenyatta the win when he stalled right in front her just before the turn for home.

  • @Boomslang1

    me too, Nucleo85Torino. I respect it when a horse just doesn't want to do something, they generally have a reason. And while I do believe he would have given Zenyatta a run for her money, there just was no beating her that day :-)

  • @KayderossKid

    Man, I can't blame him for being hesitant, He had a freaking helicopter hovering pretty damn close above him, the crowd noise and everything. With the helicopter, I'm amazed the rest of the field didn't freak out as well. Maybe that's why Zenyatta didn't want to go in either.

  • @ffalcons102
    @ffalcons102 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Exactly. If a horse doesnt want to go into the gate, then HE DOESNT WANT TO GO INTO THE GATE. Nothing anybody does is going to change that. Blind folding him, disorientating him, and spooking him arent going to make him go in...just more irritable and frustrated.

  • @horsecrazy11
    @horsecrazy11 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @flipflopchick101
    @flipflopchick101 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was terrified for him...he clearly was not going in from the start...he bucked when they first tried to lead him toward the gate. I feel especially sorry for him that they put that blind fold on him because he could've very easily hurt himself much worse than he did.

  • @sandhorse1

    @BarrelsPolesandJack
    I agree that Clinton Anderson Downunder Horsemanship is the best horse training I have found. However, I did see Cris Cox rehabilitate a Thoroughbred with serious gate problems in less than 20 minutes. Thoroughbreds are trained to run.....unfortunately not enough time is taken to train ones with this particular problem on how to load in the gates. Too bad.

  • @LauraAndMyPNHorses
    @LauraAndMyPNHorses 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I talked to Pat Parelli a couple of days ago and he told me Todd pletcher called him after the race and QR will be going to Pat for help. If anyone can help QR get his confidence back is Pat. The thoroughbred industry needs more horseman. We would see alot less of this if people would use more psychology rather than force. Best fo luck with everyone involved:)

  • @WOOKSTER8
    @WOOKSTER8 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    First, The guy cracking the whip, Stupid move, Second, The guy that grabbed QR when he went through the front of the gate is a hero! QR was blindfolded, If he had gotten loose, It was a tragedy waiting to happen! So, Whoever his name is, Thank You...

  • @ffalcons102
    @ffalcons102 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Look, all I'm trying to say is that with some horses, correct training doesnt always correct the problems they have. I do agree with you that with most horses and most problems that they can be corrected. But with some horses, no amount of training is always going to fix the problems they have.

  • @XXXphukitXXX
    @XXXphukitXXX 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quality Road is known for doing this. I feel they need to change the rules in this sport. If a horse is not sure of going in, they should automatically scratch the horse. Due to this he sustained a scratch on his leg and that can become serious with infections plus cause stress on the horse. Thank god they did not try to continue to put him in there. Hope he is okay. I'm sure he is, but still this needs to be taken serious for these horses. I agree starz, listen to the horse.

  • @richardcoreno
    @richardcoreno 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @kimzinnie
    @kimzinnie 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    QR has a history of loading problems... IF they spoke to the east coast (NYRA) gate personnel to find out how to handle him, and know that even the sight of a whip would freak him out, well, we may have had him as a runner. Plus, when exactly did he come in? Could have spent a few days schooling at the gate! Poor horse... he could have really hurt himself, the poor gate guys and ALSO the horses waiting patiently.

    but then when they tried to disorient him, get him into that gate, and he took "berserk" to a whole new level, I started getting scared even thought this happened last year. Something spooked the hell out of him!
    Poor Horsey.

  • @XXXphukitXXX
    @XXXphukitXXX 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree. Somthing shoud be done about a horse and if it does not want to load. Why force it and cause serious inury. What if he loaded and due to his injury and something happened, ya know? But I have to say, what a run by Zenyatta. Such a beautiful and powerful soul she is. I heard they want to stop racing her and let her have a few little ones. I also heard they have a few by Barbaro. We will see. I just hope Quality Road is okay.

  • @GBeret83

  • @bseaman2000
    @bseaman2000 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You are not crazy. The horse had a reason. I forgot that Zenyatta gave them a problem loading, too. She knew something was wrong. I think the handlers were wonderful. Most times it's what we might call stage fright. This time was something else. Glad they got him out before he hurt himself

  • @Tampaslice
    @Tampaslice 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When he went thru the gate he favors his right hind leg. You can see him keep it off the ground for a few steps afterwards. I'm sooo glad he was scratched. Imagine the Barbaro horror all over again.

    • @ryanmcgarry-winne5015
      @ryanmcgarry-winne5015 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tampaslice I remember watching this and SCREAMING at the tv, for them to scratch him, as soon as I saw him favor his right hind. A ligament injury with rest and a comeback, is much better than what could’ve happened. I still shudder at the thought. Common sense prevailed that day.

  • @salicemccool9186
    @salicemccool9186 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My question may be a stupid one with an obvious answer, but: Why can’t they load more than one horse at a time? Even if there’s no long & disturbing delay as occurred here to send their anxiety skyrocketing, I’d think the first few horses loaded, especially in races with large fields, like the Kentucky Derby, are getting a raw deal, given the high-strung nature of most Thoroughbreds.

    • @CagneyLamaze
      @CagneyLamaze  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In large fields (like the Kentucky Derby) horses actually are loaded two at a time. I'm not sure why it isn't done as a standard but I would bet it's safety related. If one horse goes nuts, it's helpful to have a team of other people available to help out, rather than 15 people all busy with their own charges while one horse is trying to kill itself and everyone around it.

The gate isn't something they use to try and beat the crap out of the horse, Quality Road just hates the gate and there are several horses who don't like it, but he didn't die, so he is fine. At least they were smart enough to scratch him. He was having an off day. Even though he never wants to go in the gate, this particular day he had had enough. Good job gate people for trying!

  • @ffalcons102
    @ffalcons102 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I actually agree with you. Putting a blind fold on them isnt going to do jack even if they do disorient them. If the horse doesnt want to load, the he DOESNT WANT TO LOAD. Nothing anybody does is going to change that. Theres a difference between being jumpy and excited and being just scared of going in.

    @iqreevo 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    poor Quality Road. The blindfold was not only to disorientate him but to make him trust the people who were loading him. They have to be dependant on humans when their other senses are taken away. Should have used the old trailering trick - instead of putting their arms around his butt (which was dangerous with the way he was kicking out) use a rope and pull him in that way. I hope he recovers quickly from his injuries and is ok to race again next year!

    Not really...disorientating the horse doesnt always work...as proven here. And neither does training. If a horse is this bad with gated and at this point hasnt grown out of it, odds are training isnt going to do anything. Learn your facts before you talk shit about other people.

His agenda is to defeat the starters - when he's tricked into entering the gate he bucks shooting with purpose straight back, not up and down, like his feet are on fire so they can't close the gate. Then when he's let out the front, he goes in circles immediately, refusing to be led in a straight line - so he's not tricked again, blindfolded or not. Smart horse.

    These people seriously need to learn about horsemanship and horse handling. They all need to sign up for lessons in Parelli Natural Horsemanship - it would make it safer & kinder for the horse and humans. Watching videos like this confirms my beliefs that most horse owners/handlers really don't have a clue about the nature of horses or how to work with them and the horses are the losers in this deal.

    I think quality road wanted nothing to do with the gates at all because he freaked out like hell and did not focus on racing at all😀
