@@truthboom And? Different horses react differently to stress and overstimulation. It overrode that particular horse’s herd instinct. Sort of like how that one horse jumped a fence to race after bikers in a marathon. It didn’t jump over fences normally, but it did in that instance. That particular horse’s herd instinct gave it a reason to jump over the fence while other horses might’ve gotten scared and ran away instead. So yeah, different horses react differently. Generally speaking, though, most horses who were _already_ running in the race would continue running after losing their rider. I’ve even seen horses with serious, death-sentence injuries try to continue running. It’s heartbreaking.

@@truthboom I’m sorry, what? Horses can’t hold grudges, they don’t have the brain capacity for that. They can fear someone or have reactions to things they had bad experiences with, yes, but they don’t hold grudges. Most animals can read the emotions of other animals to some extent but they still have instincts that can be hard for them to ignore. Doing math doesn’t change anything about that either.

Horses are herd animals, what would you do if you’re herd is running away from you? This is not a proof for fun at the race! You can clearly see that the horses try to avoid the fences whenever it’s possible! I can’t believe that people are so blind. Open your eyes and watch the video again with the mind of a flight animal. Maybe it will help to understand. If not, I feel really sorry for you.

These horse races are crazy. And they literally have a job for everyone on that track. Controlling where the loose horses go. Someone to get the bushes after they jump it. Ambulance driving alongside horses. Someone to get falling jockeys. Literally everything. Idk why but I enjoy seeing things like that.

@@aine7529 Well, they need to figure out a better way to do it. Occasional accidents will happen. This is criminal when you KNOW that many of them will fall!
The National Field heading to Bechers Brook on the first circuit used to be one of the most exciting moments in all of sports period. They have now turned Bechers into little more than a Brush Hurdle. The Ditchs at Cheltenham, Newbury & Kempton are more challenging now than the Chair Fence. The remaining unique part of the course is the Canal Turn because of the 90 degree angle.
The rate of horses dying has increased since they lowered the height of jumps. Now they're running faster and are more bunched up. So it's actually more dangerous now. You can look it up and see that the percentage of horses dying per starting horses has increased significantly since 1989, when they first started lowering fences and evening out ditches. Search for "List of equine fatalities in Grand National".
Ofc they can. Horses are naturally wild animals. In the wild they jump things higher then this. The only reason there was accidents is because horses were clumping together on the jumps. 🤷🏻♀️
claire winterriver - I see you on a lot of these comments. Stop trying to defend this ‘sport’, clearly you condone animal cruelty if you don’t see anything wrong with this. I’ve said it before, the horses will GO ROUND the jump if they can, they don’t enjoy jumping the fences at all. They follow the other horses because they’re pack animals and it’s instinct. That DOES NOT mean they enjoy what they are doing.
i love horse racing, but I have a real issue with a horse being whipped after such a strenuous trip, in fact, I have a real issue with any racehorse being whipped.
@@dinerouk It’s still a bad and stupid idea. Too many horses going too fast for the jumps. One horse trips over a jump and at least 2 others will always fall down over them.

"Horses love racing" is BS. Many horses love to RUN, but horses have no concept of RACING or of coming in at one position or another. Equally, many horses HATE to run and are TERRIFIED of being forced together. Making generalizations about what some other being loves or hates is foolish.
Across The Bay is one of the unluckiest horses in recent times. He lost about 40 to 50 lengths when the loose horse ran him out to the outside rail. By the time he got going again, he was last. He eventually finished in about 12th place, maybe 40 to 50 lengths behind the winner ....... do the maths on that one!

Very interesting - I've read all the Dick Francis novels many times, and he never once mentioned loose horses staying with the pack for multiple circuits, cutting across the track in front of the leaders, and perhaps occasionally passing the finish line ahead of the race winner.
Beverly, it looks to me like there are more loose horses causing problems since they started lowering fences and evening out ditches. Everyone's more bunched up and the loose horses keep running longer. Maybe the higher fences in the past discouraged horses from continuing? Not sure but I've been watching lots of races lately and the loose horses weren't as much as a problem in the past.
Ísis R. It is pretty hilarious to see all those horses in a huge cluster, most of them losing their riders or being pulled up. I counted 15 horses at the end crossing the line. 40 started the race. So almost two thirds of the horses didn't even finish the race, lmfao!!!
+Ísis R. Yes I know that is not a race it is a massacre, every jump a horse goes down, that's when you know there's a problem. This is one equine sport that probably has more causalities then any other equine sport. I always liked steeple chase and horse racing but when things go wrong to manyy times theres a problem.
The Grand National has always been one of the most dangerous races in the world! However, it is so full of adrenaline, it will stay a desirable landmark for a horse, or jockey. Man o War had a son who won it, named Battleship.

Horses would never risk to fall and break a bone while running, and it make sense if they're chased. Jumping it's something done when there are no other ways to escape, the pressure applied on the forelegs of a 400gk animal white an adult man on its back is huge, which is why I would call this abuse.
My gelding who was never trained to jump jumped the waist high smooth wire electric fence eat the corn in the garden and jump back out into his pasture
My late dad won a great bet on a winner i think 1962 "Nicholas silver" and got us out of Liverpool to a posh house up the road a bit called Southport & what a step up his ladder it was too ! R.I.P. DAD.
I hate it when people try forcing horses to do things! If they dont want to do it dont force them! If you do it could end in a bad injury for horse and rider just like shacalacaboomboom last year!!
ToyBonnie thebunny did you notice a bunch of horses kept jumping the fences without riders? Also, if you were a rider, you would know that if a horse really doesn’t want to do something IT WONT DO IT.
You...you did see that the horses continued jumping after their rider fell off, right? That in itself shows that the horses aren't being forced to jump.
@@phoenixc7245 absolutely deluded if you think that, these horses are one of the most loved, cared for and looked after animals on the planet. Do you not think that half a ton of horse would just refuse or get rid of his rider if they didn't want to race
I can remember reading the STORY OF NATIONAL VELVET and could not understand why she fell off at the end of the race. Now having seen such a race it is very clear and a wonder how she managed to finish the race at all.
i have lived on merseyside all my life . this is one crazy race . the aintree week is massive in liverpool . ladies day is huge with all the fashions in town .
Congrats to the connections. nice to see unsung heroes have their day and no injuries. However, I am still old school and prefer loose horses and the old fences as I dont want to see horses breasting the fences 3ft down as the winner did at the 13th. As we are hell bent on keeping as many horses running as possible may go some way to explain pile ups at the Canal Turn. Dont really give two hoots for the anti GN group.
that one horse that lost his rider but kept going///was limping terribly but kept jumping. Feel sure he was put down. Too dangerous for horse and jockey.
I absolutely hate how the winning jockey is whipping the shit out of the horse even though he 6 lengths ahead. People are too focused on everything else to see this mistreatment and it shows.
SOLL looks to have a great chance having seemingly improved for the move to David Pipe and Tom Scu rides, fair value at 20/1. Saint Are has come right back to form and has some very solid form over these fences, value at 33/1 and finally Raz De Maree which finished a well beaten 8th last year but could go close if getting a run. Is No 43 at the moment so not guaranteed to get in but value at 50/1 after running very well in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter last time up My five for the combination tricast are: SOLL, SAINT ARE, RAZ DE MAREE, CHANCE DU ROY and BALTHAZAR KING Good luck to all who are having a punt
I was A Conditional jockey or Apprentice Jockey in-Training but sadly I was in a bad car crash and it stopped my dreams of being a jockey,, 1 week before I was to ride my first race. But for people that say this is as cruel If a Horse does not want to jump or run in a race, no Jockey or persons will make them. you put a horse in a field the first thing they will do is Run and Jump all over the Field. I love Horses and would never harm or have a horse or any Animale Mistreated
These races depend on the navigation from jockeys,it's a smart and challenging race,racing room is very optional with judging the pace and the awareness of obstructions coming your way.
Ofc they can. Horses are naturally wild animals. In the wild they jump things higher then this. The only reason there was accidents is because horses were clumping together on the jumps. 🤷🏻♀️ 🤧
And actually if you watch, more often than not they go round the jump if they can. They don’t enjoy the jumping part at all (clearly) but they are pack animals and it’s instinct to follow the herd.

Jumping it's something done when there are no other ways to escape, the pressure applied on the forelegs of a 400gk animal white an adult man on its back is huge, which is why I would call this abuse.
they do it cuz they are trained. they take far right side always and go on lap .
My gelding who was never trained to jump jumped the waist high smooth wire electric fence eat the corn in the garden and jump back out into his pasture
My late dad won a great bet on a winner i think 1962 "Nicholas silver" and got us out of Liverpool to a posh house up the road a bit called Southport & what a step up his ladder it was too ! R.I.P. DAD.
It’s not about who win is about who survives till the end
I hate it when people try forcing horses to do things! If they dont want to do it dont force them! If you do it could end in a bad injury for horse and rider just like shacalacaboomboom last year!!
EllieBex You don't actually ride horses, do you?
I'm voting for green
ToyBonnie thebunny did you notice a bunch of horses kept jumping the fences without riders? Also, if you were a rider, you would know that if a horse really doesn’t want to do something IT WONT DO IT.
im sure none of the horses want to be riden, even outside competition but they are.
You...you did see that the horses continued jumping after their rider fell off, right? That in itself shows that the horses aren't being forced to jump.
Poor horses getting ran over by others :(
yeah
*run
Yeah!!!
They treat the horses like shit too sorry for my language
@@phoenixc7245 absolutely deluded if you think that, these horses are one of the most loved, cared for and looked after animals on the planet. Do you not think that half a ton of horse would just refuse or get rid of his rider if they didn't want to race
That' s what called " Pferdelunge" in german. Those horses are in very good conditions
what the hell is going on out there? this is like watching natural disaster footage..
Exactly wtf 😮
Was all over Pineau De Re , great memories
I can remember reading the STORY OF NATIONAL VELVET and could not understand why she fell off at the end of the race. Now having seen such a race it is very clear and a wonder how she managed to finish the race at all.
She fainted through sheer delight on winning the race.
What is the total length of this thing ? What is this type of race called ?
Tennis Sir it’s called a steeplechase
i have lived on merseyside all my life . this is one crazy race . the aintree week is massive in liverpool . ladies day is huge with all the fashions in town .
Fantastic 😍
Seems like this sport would be better without riders or jockeys at all. LOL.
Bisente fernandes
BillyPilgrim70 Yeah XD
Or horses!

WOW! Talk about a contest of endurance!
Congrats to the connections. nice to see unsung heroes have their day and no injuries. However, I am still old school and prefer loose horses and the old fences as I dont want to see horses breasting the fences 3ft down as the winner did at the 13th. As we are hell bent on keeping as many horses running as possible may go some way to explain pile ups at the Canal Turn. Dont really give two hoots for the anti GN group.
i had my money on baltahzar king but it was still money well spent! - thats just one little memory from the wonderful world of horse racing!
Ive ridden horses my whole life, but this was uncomfortable to watch. This is so dangerous. For both rider and horse.
that one horse that lost his rider but kept going///was limping terribly but kept jumping. Feel sure he was put down. Too dangerous for horse and jockey.
Never seen any jockey less chuffed to win the National
I absolutely hate how the winning jockey is whipping the shit out of the horse even though he 6 lengths ahead. People are too focused on everything else to see this mistreatment and it shows.
Indeed, like some even dare to say it's more dangerous for the rider, well, they not get slaughtered if they brake their leg. ^ ^
SOLL looks to have a great chance having seemingly improved for the move to David Pipe and Tom Scu rides, fair value at 20/1. Saint Are has come right back to form and has some very solid form over these fences, value at 33/1 and finally Raz De Maree which finished a well beaten 8th last year but could go close if getting a run.
Is No 43 at the moment so not guaranteed to get in but value at 50/1 after running very well in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter last time up
My five for the combination tricast are:
SOLL, SAINT ARE, RAZ DE MAREE, CHANCE DU ROY and BALTHAZAR KING
Good luck to all who are having a punt
Richard Smith i agree with BALTHAZAR KING, as long as he doesn't run into any trouble. He's my bet fingers x
If you had to pick one horse, would it be Balthazar?
yep jumps well stays well should be at the business end if he avoids trouble that is
It's just a big mess to me
Real racing.
2:25 bro is the horse okay?? like did you see that one that rolled then got stepped on by another horse
That one guys just asking to kicked if he keeps waving his arms behind the horses like that
If you knew the basics of racing you would know that this happens often. It's a technique to get the horse to run
Facts he boutta get kicked!!
I was A Conditional jockey or Apprentice Jockey in-Training but sadly I was in a bad car crash and it stopped my dreams of being a jockey,, 1 week before I was to ride my first race. But for people that say this is as cruel If a Horse does not want to jump or run in a race, no Jockey or persons will make them. you put a horse in a field the first thing they will do is Run and Jump all over the Field. I love Horses and would never harm or have a horse or any Animale Mistreated
they will run and jump all over the field as long as THEY want to, not 3.5 miles over 30 fences ...
This has to be the best race I’ve ever seen.
Try 2001 national
@@pykessports Or the 1967 National won by Foinavon.
Great horse, great jockey, great race!
Hell no
I love riding horses but... not like this. I'm shocked...
Leo oyed don’t be shocked this is money here in the UK
I like horse riding too if you see me riding surely you love that.
Gotta have guts to do this
Been going since 1839. Everyone in Britain bets on this Race!! Nothing wrong at all
Is there any regulations how times you're aloud to use the whip during the competition? I know in trotting they have.
Inkeri K Unfortunately they are only allowed to whip the horse hard 8 times on the butt.
Why am I just finding out about this race? Greatest thing I've seen in years.
These races depend on the navigation from jockeys,it's a smart and challenging race,racing room is very optional with judging the pace and the awareness of obstructions coming your way.
galloping,cantering and jumping constantly for 10 min😡😡
Jaleka Fewings yes that is what a horse race is and there is only galloping
Es una maldad lo que hacen con los pobres caballos . Realmente son unos faltos de humanidad y sentimiento por los animales.
Cheers to the winner and to the junketfree horses racing to the finish line ..
I am amazed at the race callers identifying the fallen at a second's notice. There are two race callers taking turns at intervals in the race.
Maybe some"pre determined" fall?
0:25 i like that rider. he wasn't being aggressive nor whipping the shit out of his horse. he was gentle.
Its like a flower
Petals just keep on falling
This isn't a race this is "which horses hearts going too explode before they get too the finish line"
This is sick,for what? For human entertainment!,some of them DIE...
liam crosbie it’s not intentional. I hope we make it safer, but at least it’s better than the colosseum lol
Horses die out in pasture too
If they reduced the number in each race it would be better.
Sanni Epstein No it wouldnt because the same casualties would still happen. Idiot.
Totally agree Liam... its truly awful and for anyone to find it funny is almost worse!!
I love to watch horse race on tv! I love horses they are loveable! Caring; i detest Animal CRuelty! Animals have rights also? October 2024?😢😢
at least horse racing is better than real madrid
I love the loose horses. Look i can jump it, dont need you.
Ofc they can. Horses are naturally wild animals. In the wild they jump things higher then this. The only reason there was accidents is because horses were clumping together on the jumps. 🤷🏻♀️
🤧
And actually if you watch, more often than not they go round the jump if they can. They don’t enjoy the jumping part at all (clearly) but they are pack animals and it’s instinct to follow the herd.
هههههه
hahaha。you a doubi
cat-kins4820 I think 🤔 U got it right
Horse - "I'm racing here. How am I supposed to win with this guy on me? Lose, the guy, win the race, right?"
0:26 that horse doesn’t want to race!
