I have watched this many many times and am no less horrified. I absolutely cannot believe no horses or drivers were hurt. No way.

[@bojarka]

Ein Fahrer kam unter ein Pferd und unter einen Wagen. Er bewegte sich nicht mehr. Ich hoffe nur, dass die Pferde nicht verletzt wurden.

vu la violence de l'accident, je pense qu'un cheval ne s'est pas relevé

So proud of my dad could never watch him when he was doing the pickup even though you wouldn’t get a better clerke of the course I miss him everyday he is the one on the brown coloured horse MR COOL love and miss you dad love always Lee

[@sarahdeshay1394]

The driver of the first horse to go down was very fortunate, he is straddles by the sulky of at least one other horse.

It seems like many of these horses just suddenly collapse.

No....questi incidenti non dovrebbero accadere 🥺🥺🥺😓😓😓

Ya just dont see pile ups like this in Sydney anymore.Track design and horse welfare have come along way in 20 years.Kudos to the industry for getting its act in order

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Mile long track at Menangle=much safer. Still doesn't have half the charm Harold Park had though. Just outside the Sydney CBD right in the heart of harbour district. That's one thing Sydney had over Melbourne. Moonee Valley played second fiddle to the gallop track and wasn't in such a central spot like that. Especially that old track they had before this race here. Lovely infield just inside the running rail

Have you been living under a rock? There is still a long way to go for the industry to "get its act in order". Yes track and horse welfare may have come a long way but getting rid of the shonky criminal element in the industry is almost non existent.

Poor horses!

[@jacquelynburke157]

Gruesome to watch. Hard to believe there were no deaths!!

[@jamesweb1000]

They should have never had so many horses the race was congested sad ending for everyone involved im a race fan and a lover if horses horses are beautiful and should be allowed to show thier stuff

[@peggypapczun2906]

Have watched this video many times. How can these horses not have suffered pain and trauma? This is awful.

[@oldermusiclover]

those drivers are soo lucky

[@kiddohorse]

This harness racing should be outlawed everywhere! Absolutely cruel! don't try to say these horses were not hurt! Doesn't show them walking away!

[@ktrain115]

Out rider did a great job...

[@bojarka]

Nicht arme Fahrer, sondern arme Pferde ... und denkt niemand an die Pferde??? Sind sie auch nicht verletzt?

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Standardbreds are a tough breed. So much so that they make excellent cross country and show jumpers

[@s.worner9299]

Die Fahrer haben sich diesen Job ausgesucht, selber schuld wenn sie sich die Knochen brechen😡😡😡 die armen Pferde wurden nicht gefragt, ob sie rennen wollen 😡😡 sie werden einfach benutzt, und entsorgt, wenn sie verletzt oder nicht schnell genug sind 😡😡😡😡😡

[@bojarka]

@@s.worner9299 Das stimmt leider.

アクシデントが起きた後、人より馬優先に見えた。危ないのは分かるけど。

[@lindaoliva999]

Bet an exacta odds 82 to 1 would have won conveniently the 8 horse broke at the finish line. Exacta 8 2

[@susannebernitt7518]

Bitte startet nicht bei sowas es ist eine sehr hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit das das pferde stirbt

[@zacheryalderton6699]

TROUBLE IN TURN 12

[@patricklemeur6360]

des nimaux à bout de force !....a

[@forrestmeadows9584]

The horses get no recognition or much concern. Lets just worry about the drivers. I dont understand the use em and abuse em philosophy of owners.

[@Temple_of_Peace333]

shame on you

[@tarjaelg8001]

Tääl on cauboyt heti paikal

[@claudiamaierhofer5267]

this is just sick legal Horse abusing

[@sylviasophia6333]

They will not put out information on all horses shipped almost immediately to slaughter - their quiet little secret - when injured but can walk, hobble, limp and stand on the slaughter truck.

[@juliemcgettican8612]

Sorry my father was one of these Drivers and all horses were ok I was with him on that day and he look after his horses

[@soniabarrera2663]
