Harness Racing Accident,Harold Park-26/06/1995 heart attack (Gaelic Uprising-Stephen.J.Ward)

[@meganparisroseabraham7055]

i LOVE the guy on the white horse , yes it may be his jobbut with all the hulla baloo just so calm and executed perfectly .

[@johntooth9294]

He done a magic job ..Spot on ..

[@tainapereira5809]

Terrible accident but the sportmanship of the other drivers trying to catch the loose horses the outriders couldnt get is hearwarming. Ive been drivers drive with one hand and lead the other horse with the other.

[@isabellesouthwick9622]

shout out to the jockey that reached out and grabbed a jockey less horse while driving his horse. Good horsemen ship there.

[@Jbmc65]

They are called outriders, they are so important to harness racing. I was in harness racing in Canada driving thousands of races and I have seen hundreds of times they have saved peoples lives and horses lives.

[@isabellesouthwick9622]

I worked at a harness racing barn and have been around horses for almost 20 years. It looked from th3 video like a jockey. I know how important outriders are.

[@trackburner3350]

Terrible accident to see, Stephen was trampled on by several horses and he was very lucky to survive this mishap. Did he do any more driving or decide to call it a day.

[@amydavis4945]

Such a horrible event and yet, the replays at the end are shown while a very upbeat song plays? VERY inappropriate music.

[@Hoodoo04]

The only thing more inappropriate would have been Benny Hill music.

[@itsnotme3882]

Agreed

[@ryanhooper5127]

True but I want to know what that music is even though it shouldn’t have been played on this

[@Lorgayle1]

looks like the drivers in the front started slowing down their horses as soon as it happened, which caused rear-enders from the horses behind?

[@livestream3248]

The music on the replay 😂

[@Fanny-van-Feuerstein]

Oh my god 😱

[@ebl36]

Poor guy had someone drive over his neck!

[@craigconley1872]

So Stephen is OK.....2019.

[@nyracingfan]

He had some broken bones but survived. I think he’s long dead now.

[@adriankelly7624]

holy shit I thought the horse was going to have a heart attack not the driver poor dude

[@barbaradesousa793]

candela pura

[@cesarvaldez7259]

Im got the trifecta!

[@JesusTroconis-em8vc]

Quien confirma si murio el jockey?

[@Stephanie-we5ep]

A google check confirms that the driver, Stephen J Ward survived his heart attack. He later died 2012.

[@marcospark2803]

Can I still cash out my ticket?

[@zacheryalderton6699]

TROUBLE IN TURN 2

[@janicekhan7119]

This is fucked up

[@Teenterror983]

According to Animal Planet's show Untamed and Uncut, a show that showed shocking footage of animal encounters gone seriously wrong, the jockey ended up being okay from that ordeal.

[@SongMom8]

This is awful!

[@tombranson4493]

the announcer could've been a little more professional about it.

[@gac4460]

Who doesn't love crimes on rims, great entertainment.

[@mirja1687]
