Herd instinct.

[@lumini3172]

@@truthboom And? Different horses react differently to stress and overstimulation. It overrode that particular horse’s herd instinct. Sort of like how that one horse jumped a fence to race after bikers in a marathon. It didn’t jump over fences normally, but it did in that instance. That particular horse’s herd instinct gave it a reason to jump over the fence while other horses might’ve gotten scared and ran away instead. So yeah, different horses react differently. Generally speaking, though, most horses who were _already_ running in the race would continue running after losing their rider. I’ve even seen horses with serious, death-sentence injuries try to continue running. It’s heartbreaking.

[@truthboom]

@@lumini3172 Or the horse holds a grudge and decided not to participate. Not all are herd instinct. Can herd instinct lets a horse read Human emotion or even do Math? Intelligence can overrode that herd instinct.

[@lumini3172]

@@truthboom I’m sorry, what? Horses can’t hold grudges, they don’t have the brain capacity for that. They can fear someone or have reactions to things they had bad experiences with, yes, but they don’t hold grudges. Most animals can read the emotions of other animals to some extent but they still have instincts that can be hard for them to ignore. Doing math doesn’t change anything about that either.

The National Field heading to Bechers Brook on the first circuit used to be one of the most exciting moments in all of sports period.

The remaining unique part of the course is the Canal Turn because of the 90 degree angle.

[@MK-lz8vj]

Maybe the race organizers caught flack as the number of maimed and dead horses rise cumulatively each year. So sorry that you are disappointed, not.

[@sarahm.5356]

The rate of horses dying has increased since they lowered the height of jumps. Now they're running faster and are more bunched up. So it's actually more dangerous now. You can look it up and see that the percentage of horses dying per starting horses has increased significantly since 1989, when they first started lowering fences and evening out ditches.

Beverly, it looks to me like there are more loose horses causing problems since they started lowering fences and evening out ditches. Everyone's more bunched up and the loose horses keep running longer. Maybe the higher fences in the past discouraged horses from continuing? Not sure but I've been watching lots of races lately and the loose horses weren't as much as a problem in the past.

Tennis Sir it’s called a steeplechase

[@richardb1092]

Congrats to the connections. nice to see unsung heroes have their day and no injuries. However, I am still old school and prefer loose horses and the old fences as I dont want to see horses breasting the fences 3ft down as the winner did at the 13th. As we are hell bent on keeping as many horses running as possible may go some way to explain pile ups at the Canal Turn. Dont really give two hoots for the anti GN group.

[@toybonniethebunny8307]

I hate it when people try forcing horses to do things! If they dont want to do it dont force them! If you do it could end in a bad injury for horse and rider just like shacalacaboomboom last year!!

[@shilodance1st]

EllieBex You don't actually ride horses, do you?

[@WendyclarkeyahoocomEmmaliegh]

I'm voting for green

[@elizabethlovesalbert]

ToyBonnie thebunny did you notice a bunch of horses kept jumping the fences without riders? Also, if you were a rider, you would know that if a horse really doesn’t want to do something IT WONT DO IT.

[@nukrisamyurashvili3021]

im sure none of the horses want to be riden, even outside competition but they are.

[@msullivan5268]

You...you did see that the horses continued jumping after their rider fell off, right? That in itself shows that the horses aren't being forced to jump.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

My favorite race.

[@SaranaSport]

VERY EXCITED

[@emmaross119]

Its like a flower Petals just keep on falling

[@BillyPilgrim70]

Seems like this sport would be better without riders or jockeys at all. LOL.

[@aine7529]

i love how when a load of them fall off at the same time the survivors run over to the people who didn’t get up

[@leooyed9552]

I love riding horses but... not like this. I'm shocked...

[@LolaLola-bx9il]

Leo oyed don’t be shocked this is money here in the UK

[@mohammadabid1296]

I like horse riding too if you see me riding surely you love that.

[@bobandsarahquast]

Gotta have guts to do this

[@blaineherrington6337]

Been going since 1839. Everyone in Britain bets on this Race!! Nothing wrong at all

[@wendalgrazette1361]

These races depend on the navigation from jockeys,it's a smart and challenging race,racing room is very optional with judging the pace and the awareness of obstructions coming your way.

[@Caspian_Treasure]

Steeplechase is by far the most despicable horse racing event there could possibly be.

[@michaelroberts2261]

Best Race in the world ..Love it !!

[@walmars3curity]

This has to be the best race I’ve ever seen.

[@pykessports]

Try 2001 national

[@Zarkava8]

@@pykessports Or the 1967 National won by Foinavon.

[@sityhadees1446]

Verry nice i like it so much someday i want to ride it

[@tonybarrientos6610]

Cheers to the winner and to the junketfree horses racing to the finish line ..

[@maryannmeyer8294]

I love the loose horses. Look i can jump it, dont need you.

[@clairewinterriver9750]

Ofc they can. Horses are naturally wild animals. In the wild they jump things higher then this. The only reason there was accidents is because horses were clumping together on the jumps. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤧

[@caatkins1000]

And actually if you watch, more often than not they go round the jump if they can. They don’t enjoy the jumping part at all (clearly) but they are pack animals and it’s instinct to follow the herd.

[@topfunnyanimals3649]

هههههه

[@user-xx2ld1zx8z]

hahaha。you a doubi

[@dianewood2430]

cat-kins4820 I think 🤔 U got it right

[@jeeky667]

galloping,cantering and jumping constantly for 10 min😡😡

[@tadhgosullivan7759]

Jaleka Fewings yes that is what a horse race is and there is only galloping

[@dvtgxerikarodriguez3137]

Es una maldad lo que hacen con los pobres caballos . Realmente son unos faltos de humanidad y sentimiento por los animales.

[@Ombi1M]

Racing Horse, Love

[@Dinky_theduck]

The horse that did not what to start at the start was achally quite clever becouse then it don’t have to Risk his/her live of slipping and braking a leg

[@Andrew-zr9tc]

Highly recommend you all read My Old Man by Ernest Hemingway.

[@tamburello9902]

Second that

[@TheMeepUsesTheDefiniteArticle]

Had the 1-2 with Pineau De Re at 25-1 and Balthazar King at a whopping 33-1 (went off 14-1)!!! Amazing day! Will go down in my personal annals as one of the greatest nationals ever :D

[@mikes2529]

Sure you did.

[@TheMeepUsesTheDefiniteArticle]

Mike S No you're right I lied on KZbin. I wanted to be king of the tube with all my followers bowing down to me ;( Am I going to jail now?...but really, I did lol. If you know a little about horse racing it isn't as hard as people think to pick a placed horse (have done 4 of the last 5 years). This was an especially good race though, and one I doubt I will ever repeat again in terms of success

[@mikes2529]

Simon Edmonds I thought you meant you had a straight forecast of 1st and 2nd. If you didn't mean that I apologise. .

[@TheMeepUsesTheDefiniteArticle]

Nah not a forecast, just the 1-2. Also had Chance Du Roy in 6th. Just a good year for me :)

[@mikes2529]

In that case i apologise . I had Rocky Creek. Just to win though :(. Wish i'd done top 5. He was leading for ages though. Got my hopes up.

[@trumplosthahaha]

The Belmont is the longest race in America at 1.5 miles. The Grand National is 4 miles! Just brutal. Especially if you fall off your horse and get trampled.

[@sandydog7449]

Terrible race

[@josuedlys]

😅 this was a bit chaotic lol very fun to watch. I miss going to the races
