The jockey went as soon as he could(he took a bad fall) you see him loosen the saddle strap and then he goes to the bit and tries to remove it. You also see him rubbing the poor horses chest in an attempt to calm it.

How do you comfort a horse who has done nothing in its life but race while it's laying on it's side on a horse race track?

I have hated Horse Racing for decades now, racing 3 year old horses, for greedy rich people for entertainment purposes so they get their kicks is 100% wrong. Horses bone structure are not mature until age 4 to 6 years old. For comparison purposes in British Horse Racing horses begin racing as 8 year olds. Here in America because of rich people’s greed and lack of caring we have 3 year old horses who die for greed and peoples selfish pleasure. By the way I’m not a horse person, I read a lot about things of interest.

I was horse racing handicapper for over two decades. I became good at it. Sadly I witnessed in person events like this way too many times. One almost exactly like this in front of the stands at Belmont Park. The horse fighting to get to its feet with an obvious broken ankle. Eventually choosing to stay down as if it knew and awaited its fate which did come behind a tarp. Gruesome. Now, being away from the track for nearly five years now I’ve become an advocate for the horses now. Once you know the human side of it you’ll become more disgusted by what goes on to get these animals on the track. Most of these horses shouldn’t be out there. During the post parade (the horses strutting before the crowd before the race) I used to notice many horses walking ‘sore’. Never a good sign. Like I’ve said I don’t follow the sport anymore so I don’t know which horse broke down here in this video but I’m willing to put my $2 win bet that that horse wasn’t ‘sound’ and shouldn’t have been in the starting gate. Somebody knew something.

My heart breaks for that poor horse. When he was out of gas and faded to the back I noticed the jockey still kept hitting him with the whip even though he had no chance of finishing in the money. The horse was exhausted at that point. Glad the jockey was not injured.

@Cocytus Ай бұрын

Horses, or well, hoofed animals in general, but speaking for specifically horses here, if they break a limb, regardless of in captivity or in the wild, is basically a death sentence. In the wild, if a horse broke a leg, it will not heal and starve if it doesn't become another animal's dinner before then. Speaking for captivity, if an owned horse experiences a severe break of a limb, it is actually more humane for the horse to be euthanized, because the injury would result in a life of pain. It's a sad but truthful reality hoofed animals run this risk.

@kasarina5880 29 күн бұрын

They normally dont Most horses when they fall will cast themselves (fallen and couldn't get up) At a certain angle horses can't get up and require help or they WILL die. Horses can cast themselves by falling or laying down the wrong way. A reason they could die is if they break their leg or something along those lines which I heard the horse broke it's shoulder. The reason horses don't survive breaks is due to their size and complication risk.

I bought/rescued an X racehorse who is the sweetest, kindest animal. This makes me absolutely sick. When are people going to stop pretending that these animals aren’t drugged to mask their pain, drugged to run faster, treated like most people would treat a mop, made to gallop before their bones are even mature and then discarded like trash? This isn’t sport, this is the greed and bloodlust of our species.

It is obvious that another horse has expired in the last couple of weeks. So where do we go from here Peta? I find this disturbing that you video this and put this on you tube and news station to ignite another fire against the horse the racing industry by letting the public see only oneside of a tragedy. It has been brought to the attention to the racing community already when you called this years derby The Demolition Derby. Yet in this country every month 8,333 horses are loaded on a truck filled with not just race horses but, domesticated pets, wild horses, and athletic horses, and foals and mares which their urine is used for human hormonal therapy will be taken by truck load out of the country for slaughter. To the tune of 100,000 per year. Peta shows very little to the public medias of this endless event that happens daily. Everyone needs to work on this together, if one person tugging at the back of the book and the on the front nothing will get done. Changes need to made the racing rules, regulations, and having legal fairness to the horses and the public and racing industry. Let us not build fences everyone needs to work together to get the job done.

Broke at the knee.....these people that breed freight trains on glass legs, then load them up on supplements, high protein and latex....this is what happens. Racing is shit anyway...but its never been like this...horse after horse breaking a leg, shattering bones-the industry needs to be shut down. Take the money away and then maybe they will listen. The most heartbreaking thing about this video? He knew she couldn't get up after the 2nd try, and he just laid down...the heaving in his body is not from running, its from the shock of pain. Probably a sweet boy, he trusted the people to come help him :( ...senseless.

Rewatch it slow. The horse went face first into the dirt, and its chin went back between its front legs. Horse weighs about 1100 pounds on average, and running full speed around 35-40 mph. That much force is insane.
