The Jockey Club usually frowns on naming horses after people who are alive and kicking, so I have to assume those fuddy-duddies at the JC never heard of ol' Rey so the name was accepted.
The Greyhound called "Scurlough Champ" did this almost every start - and usually broke the track record! Coming from tailed off last. A uniquely brilliant greyhound. Have a look at his remarkable races on UA-cam.
That Yogiism applies especially to turf racing. With a race on grass, it's not uncommon for a horse well off the lead to make up enormous amounts of ground over the last furlong or two, and sometimes in as short a space as the last 100-150 yards.
Ned Lambton totally correct and i am forever trying to explain this to ppl and punters. It is amazing how few ppl realise this. They finally believe when i can find some split times to back my case.
If you type in Kauto Star King George VI Chase 2009. When Kauto is passing the finnish line the others are still jumping the last fence! And Frankel is a flat racer, never been beat and is up against the best!! Amazing!!!
I think the best I've ever seen in Aldaniti and Champion winning the Grand National....the real footage, not the movie version. That little horse held off a last minute challenge with some much in the way of guts....true "champions", both horse and jockey.
the second jockey was hopeless after the last if he had sat still he would have won ,same as pitman on crisp,when you have a tired horse you keep balanced
Had to laugh when I read your comment as I read some comments up the page where they were saying the jockey made no attempt to win, was just sitting still on the horse and throttled the horse back to intentionally lose, the race was FIXED! :-D And that rider was beating the tar out of the horse right-handed the whole time. I guess people just see what they want to see.
@@audreyhep2010 watch it again, watch the jockey pull up, one hand only, but slows the horse, what do you suggest my friend? the old dug racing chocolate biscuit before the race? The sport is corrupt at times, unfortunate as that is. Peace bro ✌️
Right, because when they jumped the last he sat completely still on it like a statue and wasn't in any way whipping it or trying to make run to the line, was he?
He looked like he was riding it but he wasn't. If you can get hold of the in running you would see that the horse in front was never going to win. If you watch flat racing today the winner uses his whip less than those around him, the whip seems to slow them down. Every race is fixed if you can read the exchanges you would see it, as soon as the gates open the price of your horse goes up that's it you lose.
The race wasn't fixed. This is typical British/European race riding. You don't see it in the States. In Europe and the UK it is normal for the horses to be placed in position at the start and then hold that position until the last furlong when they suddenly cut the horses loose and a cavalry stampede ensues. THEN you see whose horse has something in reserve and whose is winded and out of gas. The horse that was leading most of the way was clearly out of gas at the end. Watch closely and you will see that the rider of that horse is actually whipping the daylights out of the horse right-handed. But the horse was shortening stride and obviously had nothing left to give. The rider of the horse that actually won did have something left, that horse lengthened stride and picked up the pace nicely and won the race. This race was NOT "fixed". Just a few strides before the finish line the rider of the losing horse knew he wasn't going to win and stopped beating his horse. No point in doing so. It was an honestly run race, the fresher horse winning it.
5 years later....Paul Blagg. He had a few winners between the flags, all in the South east area, culminating at the finals meeting at Folkestone, as seen here. He'd always come back bright red looking like a side of beef. If I remember rightly, he was also a motor cycle police officer. Fit as a butchers dog but an awful race riding style.
Mrjzielke... you having got a clue what your talking about with your swab testing and all that..he was still on the bridle approching the second last and then just out stayed the runner up.. learn abit about racing before you talk c rap
who would bet on that type of horse race? all the jockeys fall off anyway and the horses gets a leg injury and gets put down.... stupid ass horse race style!
Moreover, if the sport is banned, what are we going to do with 14,000 thoroughbreds. The owners won’t be able to afford them and nobody will want to buy them.
Betfair was set up to fleece the punter learn how to read the exchanges and you will see that horse racing is choreographed. A horse will be backed in from 10/1 into 2/1 favourite a gamble the horse will finish second or third nine times out of ten. If you don't believe me that's fine but learn to read the exchanges and you will see it for yourself they are good at what they do i'm not gaining nothing from telling you this and why would i lie all i can tell you is what can be seen every race is fixed.
Yes - agreed perhaps except for the very big races where is win at all costs. What do you think? Have you seen the program :The Secret Life of Lester Piggott" It is on You Tube although the quality is not great - the story supports your theory about corruption though...but of a slightly different kind
what was the point of showing that race??? it was nothing special,i've seen hundreds of far more dramatic finishes or horses much further clear and getting caught!!!
Not everyone is familiar with how races are run. You are. I am. They aren't. That makes a difference in the impact on how "they" view the finish. To be honest, you don't see finishes like this much in the States. This is a very UK/Euro finish. We do see come-from-behind horses but not as often or as dramatic as you see in this video. In the US you are more apt to see a horse break away from a pack and take off at the end leaving the others behind, but not this Euro/UK style of a cavalry charge the last furlong where the tiring front runners are swallowed up and passed by fresher horses behind them.
Absolutely. It would be much better for all concerned if none of them were ever born, even if most of them do lead lives of luxury doing something they enjoy doing. Bugger the lot of them.
I think we must have been watching a different race than I'm afraid and I'll copy and paste a comment I made earlier in the tread. "Right, because when they jumped the last he sat completely still on it like a statue and wasn't in any way whipping it or trying to make run to the line, was he?"
Forget about the horse in front watch how many times he whips the winner a couple of slaps then he pushes the horse out to the line. The leading horse is whipped at least 8 times like i say watch horse racing and see how they use the whip.
Starting with the commentator’s criticisms of the, eventual, winning jockey, amusing in more ways than... thanks-subbed.
Forget the finish, I can't get over the fact there is a horse named Rey Mysterio...that is amazing...
Simoslav Klose That cracked me up!!!
The Jockey Club usually frowns on naming horses after people who are alive and kicking, so I have to assume those fuddy-duddies at the JC never heard of ol' Rey so the name was accepted.
@@DoubleDogDare54 to be fair, Rey Mysterio is a "character" name, so more a problem for the owner if WWE objected, as names are copyrighted.
@John Waters This was 2009, so after the wrestler.
I love it too 😂

The dog what got me into betting.
He was not talking into a cup.he was talking into a kazoo!
Great finish horse finished like a train , no as good as the great Red Rums 1973 victory over crisp , that was the best finish ever by a long way ....
Correct.
Mark Stirling . Crisp was giving Red Rum 2 stone in weight in that National.
Note to self for future, "it aint over till its over"

The way horses accelerate is STILL blowing my mind! I love watching them run!
They don't accelerate at the end, it just looks that way. What they are doing is slowing down more slowly.
Ned Lambton totally correct and i am forever trying to explain this to ppl and punters. It is amazing how few ppl realise this. They finally believe when i can find some split times to back my case.
I loved that racecourse folkestone. Sadly it's gone now. I always backed a winner there.
anyone else rooting for the riderless horse ?
I ALWAYS ROOT FOR THE RIDERLESS HORSE !!! SOMETIMES THE FINISH 1ST !!!
In the Palio of Siena, the riderless horse can still be the official winner!
yep
You would love the clip of a horse going rogue and running back through folded gates on the side of the track and still winning.
Ned Lambton that's stupid.. carrying no weight
jockey hit the turbo button aft the last jump.. vvvrrrommmm😁

Great win the horse wasn't just coming the horse was coming with bells on.
I think the best I've ever seen in Aldaniti and Champion winning the Grand National....the real footage, not the movie version. That little horse held off a last minute challenge with some much in the way of guts....true "champions", both horse and jockey.
I was expecting the loose horse to win!!
Darling it’s no . Don’t do betting
That horse is on some good shit
R.i.p Richard woolacott
Race caller had a bucket over his head.
the second jockey was hopeless after the last if he had sat still he would have won ,same as pitman on crisp,when you have a tired horse you keep balanced
Rey Mysterio 619!
Oh sorry, wrong video.
@pelforthpelforth Folkestone Racecourse UK, May 2009, this is a hunter chase and the commentator is Iain Mackenzie.
What track is this and what country .
Woeful ride by the jockey on the horse that come 2nd
almost as good as pitman on crisp in the grand national!
It was actually an excellent ride. The horse just ran out of gas, the winner having just a bit more in the tank than the loser.
Riding a false finish,loads of movement and theatrics bit not actually pushing the horse forward
Infuriating that the 2nd place horse was clearly exhausted barely making the last jump and the jockey beatin' the crap out of him.
Had to laugh when I read your comment as I read some comments up the page where they were saying the jockey made no attempt to win, was just sitting still on the horse and throttled the horse back to intentionally lose, the race was FIXED! :-D And that rider was beating the tar out of the horse right-handed the whole time.
I guess people just see what they want to see.
yes the horse was called rey mysterio
regards
dave
we're they talking into a cup during this?
The jockey held the horse back before 2nd last and lost all momentum.. you can see the jockey panic before the last he messed up
I thought that was going to happen, the horse that came 2nd was nackered because it went out too fast too early.
it's not that the winner had such a great turn of foot, more so the long time leader slowed so much and fell into a hole.
Was the horse that the commentator said right at the beggining called "Rey Mysterio"
I know Mysaynoway (the horse that won) She was at my yard and is now in foal!
Who on earth is the jockey on the second horse?
I wanted to.hear here comes rey mysterio hahababa
what a turn of foot for a jumper...
ones a jockey falls off the horse is out of the race
What they feed him?
Why does that jockey look like he’s having a seizure?
Did u see the ghost rider..awesome
Reminded me of Silky Sullivan .
Silky Sullivan would come from much farther back than this horse. It was like Silky was in another zip code when he fired.
was this filmed using a potato?
See what without a whip can do!
I wanted to here Buyaka buyaka 619 😂
i thought i heard rey mysterio lol haha
thats was some finish nothing...best feeling in the world popping a TB over a fence
What A FIX
Theese are the sort of races i cant help but think uts been fixed, jockeys pulling up in the last furlong 😔
don’t you think the jockey could have found a more sure way to cheat, without waiting for the last 2 furlongs?
@@audreyhep2010 watch it again, watch the jockey pull up, one hand only, but slows the horse, what do you suggest my friend? the old dug racing chocolate biscuit before the race? The sport is corrupt at times, unfortunate as that is. Peace bro ✌️
yeah forget the finish moment
This video is as old as I am-
paul blagg
That jockey pulled that horse back that race was a fix
Right, because when they jumped the last he sat completely still on it like a statue and wasn't in any way whipping it or trying to make run to the line, was he?

I tend to agree he was waiting for the eventual winner to pass him by

The jockey on the second lost that race. Absolutely awful performance by the jockey
Does anyone realize the horse with no rider?
sent hiim home too early thats for damn sure
McCoy was 2n
Why?
I don't get it

racing in ireland is better more dramatic
Woohoo Irish person (:
And brutal to watch with the amount of horses getting their necks legs and backs snapped :(
The fields are generally too big in Ireland for my liking especially the novice hurdles.
