For some reason I find oddities like this May 16, 2004 race very entertaining. The Hasta la Vista Handicap at Turf Paradise in Arizona is run at what today is an unusually long distance of 1 7/8 miles. This requires two full circuits of the course, rather than the usual one time around in most races. Unfortunately for jockey Jorge Carreno, he forgets that minor detail, creating a very unusual sitation. On a personal note, in the early 1980s, I recall Hall of Fame jockey Jorge Velasquez falling victim to the same mental lapse in the 2 1/4 mile Display Handicap at Aqueduct. My father and I got a big kick out of the fans watching the replay cheering “come on Georgie” the first time around, as he was furiously whipping and driving despite having a mile left to run.

fyi:
a woman in my town runs a horse rescue. the majority of her horses are off the track. most of them arrive with whip scars, one was so lame they had to sedate him to transport him. and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
ha i just love it …
ha i just love it when people watch a video with no real cruelty in it but still try to to find it and then once they are proven wrong they don’t apologize… i also love how they have no clue what they’re actually talking about but pretend that they are the most knowledgable and caring people *shakes head* Good job Dressagequeen22 =) You obviously know what YOU’RE talking about
Thank God someone …
Thank God someone knows what there talking about on here!! Well done dressagequeen22

the jocks get mental blocked…..
If horses don’t …
If horses don’t want to run, they won’t! And ppl won’t waste time and or money on them if they don’t wanna run
Sorry …
Sorry DeppisGorgeous but dressagequeen22 is completly correct. My auntie works with racehorses and my friends dad is a race horse trainer for a Sheik. Before you comment messages…get your facts right.
firstly, that …
firstly, that doesn’t happen often. If they get injured they are retired and go to either a rescue or as a companionship horse. if they are just done with there career, we either breed them or give them to people we trust to use them for other disciplines…
then i respect you …
then i respect you for not making your horses do what they don’t want to do; but what happens to your racehorses once they injure themselves and can’t run anymore? do you keep them or sell them to a glue factory?
um…actually, I …
um…actually, I have racehorses, and an event horse. And I have worked with them for SEVERAL years. If they don’t naturally want to run, we don’t run them. If they don’t want to jump, they do NOT do it. You are quite obviously the ‘ignorant’ one and i suggest you become knowledgable about something before you comment on it…of course there are accidents, as there are in every sport. However, these videos shown are a small…extremely small percentage of all races that occur…
i’m sorry if you’re …
i’m sorry if you’re ignorant. you should know, if you really are “dressagequeen”, that horses can be forced to do things they don’t want to do. horses are born to run, but not with people on their backs with whips. when i see you run a mile, at the fastest speed you can manage, i will concur.
i know…
sad

oh, what the world …
oh, what the world does for money.
what are you …
what are you talking about???
you guys obviously …
you guys obviously have no idea what you are talking about. these horses a bred to run and they love what the do. I would like to see you tr to force a 1000 lb animal to do something it didn’t want to. And these horses are probably teated better and live better then you so you apparently have not a clue what you are talking about.

thoroughbreds are made to run, not all horses. they all can run.

besides starting them too young, so alot of tb’s end up with deformity, oh and the whipping, its really just like crosscountry or barrel racing. but thats said we can try and make horse racing better cant we

yes thats true. but sometimes jockeys can over do it. sometimes it gets a bit out of hand

this is one of the most inhumane sports out there.

like nobody makes a stupid mistake every now and then… Still don’t give others a right to be rude about it.

then how big do u want the horses to be then? horses can grow as tall as 18.3hh. thts tall and i shud know, cos i’ve ridden one tht height before.
I believe horse …
I believe horse racing is cruel. Those poor little jockeys are made fun because they are midgits. If only the world knew of this cruelty. WHY? Horse racing has been lowering self esteem and height for the small. It just makes me vomit uncontrollably all over the place. Maybe the horses should be breaded to match the jockeys. The jockeys should also have little clubs to hit each other.
Horse racing is a …
Horse racing is a big business. Fat, sick, supine apes sit around eating beef jerky & watch horses go in circles on their televisions. They call themselves “sport lovers” -it’s depression.
Wow..that jockey …
Wow..that jockey really screwed up..lol. If you want to see a in depth piece about the dangers of horse racing check out my documentary film HORSE RACING ACCIDENT FILM. Thanks, Matt Chapman
