Thrills and spills in one of the world’s great races - the Velka Pardubicka - Racing TV

The 131st running of the famous Czech race, over 4m2f and 30 obstacles, provided its usual share of drama and incident. Patrick Mullins was unseated early on from Kaiserwalzer while several runners were carried out by a loose horse. Talent, seventh and fourth in the previous two renewals, took the spoils in an exciting finish after almost being brought down.

What a racetrack! What a race! Ultimate jumping test for any horse. Congratulations to this year's winner.

[@Lem8sh]

Superb commentary

[@bobbell4461]

Great race full of drama and brilliant call by master comentater Mark Johnson

[@JTM1809]

Agreed, even though he's butchering most of the names, including the name of the race itself. I think that's the next area of focus for professional sports commentators.

[@222mozart]

the czech comentator is of the same quality, in minimum. the english comentator has to learn how to pronounce "Pardubice", "Kaiserwalzer", and the names of the czech riders und horses. necessarily!!

Omg what a race!!

[@ericcarlson1709]

That 4th jump (Taxis) is insane, makes Becher's look like an ordinary hurdle

[@andrewogrady8117]

Been there walked the course fabulous atmosphere on day, on Saturday they run the St leger

[@SpSot]

The course they follow during this race looks so random that if I was riding there, I could well lose my way... ➡➡⬅⬅⬆⬆⬇⬇↗↗↘↘↙↙↖↖😳🤷‍♀‍♀

[@slavosvajka]

This is often a problem for foreign jockeys. They come one day before to study the course and hurdles. Sometimes they get used to following home jockeys. Home jockeys and many visitors know this course by heart.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

The loose horse at 2.25 could have taken out the entire field!

[@josephhurdman5588]

A double fence in a cross country horse race? Never seen that before!

[@paulstorm2150]

Here after learning about Lata Brandisová.

[@readwriteteach]

She's certainly worth a bit of our time.

[@waqarkhan25]

I wish they have another go at The Grand national

[@user-yj3jb9ux2f]

The horses who stay in race after losing their jockeys - they make me laugh and... cry.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

in 1993 only one horse completed this race!

[@222mozart]

And also in 1920 and 1899. In 1909 nobody completed the competition.

[@Deweycheatumnhowe]

The quality of the horses and the race have improved a lot over the years.

[@tomleach1428]

Crazy but fun too watch.. wondering how tigeroll in his prime would of handled it...

[@chimp0]

The tiger would of loved it 🙏🏻

[@gabrielaamin9886]

Fully agree. One of the hardest races with the best horses/jockeys. This is way harder course than the Grand National.

[@Elliot-T]

Quite the spectacle, but seems unnecessarily dangerous.

[@user-yj3jb9ux2f]

Having read all of Sir Dick Francis' books I have developed a strong opinion that jockeys simply can't live without it!)))

[@azkz8159]

Looks fun to watch but deadly for jocks and poor horses
