    Appears to me that the trailing horse ran in, and the driver's wheel hit the hubrail. These things happen, but, IMHO, having watched tens of thousands of races, I think the driver could have been more alert going into that tight turn.

    • @Jbmc65
      @Jbmc65 Рік тому

      You don’t need to rope them, they are called outriders. And they don’t use ropes. They ride up beside the horse and grab the reins (lines)and bring them to a stop. But this looks like a county fair, it would not have happened if the driver on 7 could have steered the horse going into first turn. If you watch he yanked the horses head right sideways when he entered the turn. I don’t know if he wasn’t steering the horse or could not steer the horse.

      Exactly and what a joke. Still using inside running rails, although at some tracks it is hard to remove them but they have marker pegs out from the rail, not like this joke of a place where they still race next to it. plus no outside rail either, where they do need one, at start of straight with no protection for people in stabling area. so what do they think? That no horse could run off track and into people including children? The place is a nightmare waiting to happen and breaches all safety regulations. And the way some of the idiots just ran to the scared horse that was stuck over fence just shows how stupid people who should know better can be. running up to a horse that is stuck on anything can upset it more. it might be a County fair, but that's no excuse for ignoring safety. it all seemed very unprofessional.
