Reminds me of the Australian jumps jockey who fell 32 times in 30 races, never once completing the course, when asked how he managed to fall 32 times he said in his last race he fell, remounted and fell again .... then on the way to hospital in the ambulance it went over a bump, the doors flew open and his stretcher fell on the road. 😜
I remember seeing this race at the time as it was one of the rare days that Channel 4 covered racing at the time. It was amazing viewing luckily no horses or jockeys were injured
Remounting should not be allowed! Because, what if a horse gas a hairline fracture? And it seemed fine because the adrenaline rush (it blocks pain) and then break that bone even more because you wanted to finish a simple race. -.-
I am never quite sure why the jumping could be so unsuccessful in this er days, but l remember as a child there seemed to be far more falls than there are now. Nowadays we can go through days of racing with very few falls or unseated riders and sometimes more in the hurdles than the chases.
Well they don’t feel it if they get shot, a welcome relief from the pain they were In after the break, and ask any horse if it wants to stay home, they’d all say no, and watch how many loose horses jump all the jumps after dropping a rider. They have as much fun, maybe more, than the jockeys.
The reason they banned remounting is horses were being remounted without being checked over. If a horse sustains even a minor injury in a fall then it can be made far worse by being remounted...
@@David.L291 because it's quite hard to stop a horse when you're on the deck and you're not allowed to run out and stop a horse in runnung with the field because it poses a danger to other horses. If a horse falls and the jockey is up first they'll often try to stop their horse from running off loose.
it's not just the horses. if a jockey is injured they might not realise at the time and if they get back on it puts them the horses and the others around them at risk. i don't know much about racing but i event and that has happened to me before.
What if all the horses fell in a steeplechase before completing the course......would the race be declared void as re-mounting is not allowed these days?
This is extremely rare. First time I ever saw it like this. I do remember a few standardbred races in the US where for varying reasons the race because of safety or otherwise was declared a no-contest.
'remounting souhld alway be allowed'? Like when walsh got back on Kauto Star on its UK debut and risked ending its career? Wouldnt have been much of a loss in your opinion i suppose??
It was Flodden Field named after the battlefield near Branxton in the borders. I think the reins got caught round his forelegs giving that horrible impression he had broken down. He went on to race again.
This type of racing should be BANNED world wide it is animal cruelty the amount of horses that have to be put down is horrifying they don't even repair the leg and let it retire in a paddock they just shoot them. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IN YOUR MEAT PIE .no joke
You know absolutely NOTHING about horse anatomy do you??? There are times when the horse cannot be healed and it is kindest to put them down. Remember Barbaro??? They did their best to save him but it just did not work. Get a clue BEFORE opening your STUPID mouth!!!
the jockeys FLY over them and make no effort for them to slow and steady up before the jumps so they don't die, they make no effort to fix them they're just desposable for them it's digusting
The jockeys need to get the strides right, just as in show jumping and cross-country, but at a pretty full gallop. Of course, they can do it only with the reins, voice and possibly whip, because they don't have the legs available for aids. If the horse has it figured out, so much the better, and you can often see loose horses jumping very nicely.
@@sharonkorchnak8638 Yes, a lot of it depends on the horse's ability and skill. The immortal Red Rum never fell, dislodging his jockey only once, in some ten years of racing and jumping.
That wasn't a race, it was a meatgrinder. The fact all the horses made it back to the barn was pure luck, certainly not any concern from a jockey, trainer or owner.
Sorry, I love the jumps and the first and third fallers both destroyed? So whilst I see your point it's not the best choice of video. Nothing personal but hard to enjoy. Sorry x
Phil2003ashleigh none of the runners were destroyed in this race and from what I know faller at first Dark Record raced on for another 6 years second faller raced on 2 years 3rd faller raced on 7 years 4th faller raced on 9 years and winner raced on 3 years. Where did you get your info from re their deaths it can not have been from the video as the 3rd to fall was seen later in the video being possibly remounted?. I really would like to know because there are sites out there that spin nothing but shite re horse racing.

I often think of this race and here it pops up on UA-cam, can't believe it was 30 years ago.
Where on earth does all this time go, CRAZY!!!
Lovely to hear the great John Oaksey & Graham Goode in commentary.
I remember seeing this race at the time as it was one of the rare days that Channel 4 covered racing at the time. It was amazing viewing luckily no horses or jockeys were injured
@Leslie Gibbons But yet it still goes on to this day and nothing still changes
I'll never forget this race, even though it was 2 years before I was born! Frankie Dettori's "horsing around" VHS made it iconic for me!
Well, tough ride for all and it's always interesting to see many horses continue running and jumping fences!🐎
Remounting should not be allowed! Because, what if a horse gas a hairline fracture? And it seemed fine because the adrenaline rush (it blocks pain) and then break that bone even more because you wanted to finish a simple race. -.-
Which is why it was later not allowed.
Jf it was banned in 2005.so ur article u wrote.was of no use sorry
"Picking up his whip. Thank you. It does cost money." THAT SAYS IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a joke ...
‘Horse racing will never see races like this again’ You can barely see the race in the first place lol
I clearly saw the red and green pixels beat the orange pixels
who is commentator here
@@TheDarrenguyuk Graham Goode
😂
Back when this was normal mate our eyes were trained so to speak a good example would be trying to play even a first generation Wii console or a ps2
Horses that fall today cannot be remounted
And not before time.
What a crazy race, incredible though.
Really well sat-on!!
In those days they didn't have cameras that could actually focus.
Good metaphor for life.
I can’t believe the jockey got back on the second faller and galloped if he didn’t intend to continue the race (which he obviously shouldn’t have).
the sound from the crowd when the lone horse falls!...4m37s
4:37 is how to do it
Mr Boston was a good horse, won a few races.
I firmly believe that if Arkle was around at the time of this race & had ran in it, he would have won.
I don't think so, if he was still around he would have been 33 when this race took place.LOL
This was a race Devon Loch would have excelled in
I'm surprised Hoof Hearted wasn't running in that race!
I am never quite sure why the jumping could be so unsuccessful in this er days, but l remember as a child there seemed to be far more falls than there are now. Nowadays we can go through days of racing with very few falls or unseated riders and sometimes more in the hurdles than the chases.
Fences have been made comparatively easier to jump, particularly in the Grand National...
luv it
the good old days...
I couldnt care less about the jockeys - they know the risks. they dont get shot if they break a leg
Neither do many horses injured in races these days. Only if the bone is so shattered that it can't be splinted is euthanasia called for.

WOW!
The reason they banned remounting is horses were being remounted without being checked over. If a horse sustains even a minor injury in a fall then it can be made far worse by being remounted...
but interestingly that many times when a horse falls nowadays it can still run on despite not being remounted, so what's the difference???
David Lench Just cos some of them run on doesn't mean they all should for gods sake. There's enough horses being injured as it is

A very well known eventer here on UA-cam got a rather stiff reprimand for something like that a couple of years ago.
BRADLEY PROBABLY JUMPED OF ALL OFF THEM IN THIS RACE
class
just happy the horses were all ok
They will all end up in the knacker's yard anyway.
@@tonybroderick4808 Most of them after a second career off the track, or even a third career.

@punditpete November 1990
Would be void now
@magiclard i wish i read this before posting the exact same thing ;-p
Newcastle had a good NHcourse, never mind fallers, it was a disgrace they closed it down, DISGUSTING.
This is the first horse I've ever seen where all the runners and riders fell. How frequently does this actually happen in horseracing?
It's a rare as rocking horse shit!!!
This is extremely rare. First time I ever saw it like this.
I do remember a few standardbred races in the US where for varying reasons the race because of safety or otherwise was declared a no-contest.
Right!
Near the end it turns into a match race
Was this a Monty python skit ?
classic funny as
If the horse had fell again after remounting i would have pissed myself laughing.
You are so self centered
Hi
There was an excess of glue at the factory that year
What year was this ?
philli 1990 the title says.
HAHA but it was in the title, that's like asking what year is 2022
What a farce!
it was Monty Pythonish
Now where did I place my galsses?
The best part of your body is the gooch
As rare as the Diva winning 3 cups in a row
Good thing they drenched the track with water for that win number 3 eh
When did they start banning remounting?
2005 after Kauto Star sustained a hairline fracture after falling and being remounted at Exeter (he finished second though).
@@nickjames3055 pretty sad that it took such a high profile horse to remount for them to do something about it
'remounting souhld alway be allowed'?
Like when walsh got back on Kauto Star on its UK debut and risked ending its career?
Wouldnt have been much of a loss in your opinion i suppose??
Wasn't Kauto's UK debut,he ran at Newbury 1st time and won,it was his second run I think at Exeter
@@patrickelbert1093 Poor thing ended up dying in June 2015.
Yeah no shit, we can watch them in much better quality now
isn't it interesting that the favourite fell at the first
What's interesting about it??. You think the jockey magically made him fall 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@shaneymac8398 It seem dodgy to say the least, and then all of them falling too
Looks like golden field broke down. Hope he was ok
They were all fine afterwards, I checked, 'cause I thought so too... but they were all completely fine.
It was Flodden Field named after the battlefield near Branxton in the borders. I think the reins got caught round his forelegs giving that horrible impression he had broken down. He went on to race again.
Every horse fell wow x i do not agree that horse's jumping fence's is fair. I think it is cruel there jumping fence's in the first place,
The days when horses were sent out to win
The lay bet just opened a big door for corruption for them in the know.
It has nothing to do with lay betting.
@@bowlchamps37 I never said it was.
But if you think horses are always put in a race 2 Win you are deluded.
Let the horses be horses instead of money making machines for the greedy, that couldn't give a toss if the animal gets hurt or worse.

This is why I only like flat racing
this comentator is afraid so often he will be petrified by the end of the race
You can't remont horse's now
@MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMeAndU why can't you just say the fith race
That’s ugly and ridiculous .

And still others finding the path with no fences ... nonetheless, the riderless horses do seem to jump better without the "help."

Clown horses🐩

You have no idea how they feel about their horses, admit it. I was devastated when my broodmare died and I didn't live with her day in and day out.
There is no such thing as a great Jockey there are only god holders on.

Eddie is right, none of the horses were destroyed and all raced again.
Haha! Wrong guess!
Unfortunately such Fake News is often posted when referring to fallen horses in race videos. Standard tactic, I guess.
Paul Motley .
And we bet on this...
This is why to many beautiful horses break legs and necks and there lives.Jumping is EXTREMELY CRUEL
Take a day off. Idiot.
Just read your comment and its utter nonsense.
Shitty horseraces. Cruelty, Abuse. Stop this !!!
Well said.
Graham Goode probably the worst commentator ever
You enjoy watching horses jumping fences and breaking their necks? That's enjoyable for you? Disgusting!
Cruel sport
There's no skill in horse racing, no technique
hamsandwich your name is ham sandwich
Take a course at the racing school and tell me that.
Don’t be a silly billy ham butty
