  • Thanks for making this video. Exceller and Secretariat were my beloved horses grandpas and she just passed away on 12/15/11 (She was 19, just like Secretariat). And, Exceller's death makes me cry. No horse deserves to die that way. I thought it was a swedish slaughter house, but maybe he was shipped to Japan. Either way, so messed up.

  • Falloutboyjonasbros I agree with u

  • You know - I like the video and it's music. Great project. And for those who can only find fault - make you own video and upload it.

  • k i kno u said u fixed this b4 u handed it in. umm i was just wondering if u know that with ruffian you made a mistake about the leg? it was her right foreleg. umm. nice vid btw

  • I want to meet you soo bad. Finley someone understands me about horses.

  • 3:56 that heartless *beep*! oh and 4:56 looks like that leg must really of hurt :/ one of the front ones... one last thing. how do they know Shergar died at 5 if he was kidnapped and never found? was that the age he was when he'd been taken or when the search was called off?

  • and why did you put 2 pictures of Ginger Punch^? ^^; she's not dead

  • Go for wand wasn't undefeated in the BC, she lose the Kentucky Oaks...and I think she also lose once when she was 2

  • well, phar lap wa the greatest race horse that ever liveed.

  • *sigh Ruffian and Barbaro ended almost the same way... v.v

  • great video and I know you know about Ruffian.....and someone goofed to say Barbaro died in a slaughterhouse......good job

  • Ruffian broke her left front leg, not the hind.

  • mistake alert ruffian was not put down right away and it was her front leg the fixed it in surgary then when she woke up she thought she was still racing so she started move her legs in a galloping pattern and the cast hit her other leg and broke it so they decided 2 put her down

  • it breaks my heart that horse racing is still legal

  • poor horses cry

  • So, if you have a corrected video, remove this one and put up the corrected video.

  • barbaro wasn't just uthenized after 8 months they were going to retire him and let him be a stud and pasture horse until the january day they found out he had a hoof disease and it was untreatable and they didn't want to see him suffer so they put him down

    BTW you can't say i am wrong i heard it from the owners mouth it was on a western channel that had all about horses it was horse's life and the owners said that they were going to put him down

  • Mistake alert! Ruffian wasn't immediatly euthanized!!!!

  • @ginita105 Many people have pointed that out.

  • Wow!It's not just these famous horses.Every year 900 horses die in the US alone on the racetrack and most that retire that were luck not to break down end up in slaughter houses...Many breeder's don't care where they go and i don't want to believe that! horses are just like us. Horses could do more than just race!Thank you for putting this video up becuase all horses are beautiful and have been with us since beginning of time!R.I.P to every horse that has past away becuz of the racetrack!

  • That breaks my heart that some of those great racehorses died in SLAUGHTER HOUSES!!!!! ;(

  • So do slow race horses

  • she didnt say sthat "Bobby" died in a slaughterhouse she said he was euthanized after an 8 month battle 3 months fore his 4th birthday which is true oh and "Biscuit" died of a heartattack

  • sad video <:(

  • barbaro did not die in a slaughterhouse he was one of the best race horses why did u say he went to a slaughterhouse that not true

  • I'm pretty sure that it doesn't say anywhere that he died in a slaughterhouse...?

  • @AnyuXxXGaara it says it in your video everyone knows he was put down sadly no one ever said he was slaughtered

  • @AnyuXxXGaara at 1:16 it says "sadly we think he died in a slaughterhouse in japan

  • @xxxabbydoodyxxx then where is he smarty

  • @xxxabbydoodyxxx It said Exeller died in a slaugtherhouse in Japan not Barbaro.

  • I didn't know that so much horses ended their lives in slaughterhouses in Japan.. they were all good runners, so how do they get there? :-S they should end their lives in the meadow..

  • Its very painful to see why these horses died, but thats the hard world.

    Barbero was my favorite, and absolutely great.

  • Comment removed

  • Did seabiscuit really die at 15? Thats not old for a horse so how did he die of old age :|?

  • I read that he died from a heatr attack.

  • Okay, you guys really have to stop commenting on this saying "this is wrong" or whatever, because I KNOW it's wrong! I have corrected this video before I gave it in to my teacher. This was added almost 2 years ago.

  • Exceller died in Sweden Ferdinand died in Japan

  • Thank you for paying tribute to Go For Wand. By far the worst breakdown in history (in my opinion). I remember it like it was yesterday. What a game filly she was.

  • Ruffian was not immeadietly put down after she broke her leg.They operated on Ruffian all through the night but to no avail, she began running and ripped the cast off upon coming out of the anesthesia, causing further damage to her leg. The men and the vets around her had tried to perform a miracle surgery and it had only furthered her agony. Shortly after 2 am, Ruffian was put down, and she was free to run once more. She was buried at belmont park with her nose pointed towards the finish line.

  • they didnt perform a second surgery because she barely survived the first one she had to be revived at least twice she broke her other leg i belive and i know she broke her elbow and undid the surgury there was no way to save her

  • i also read some where that Secretariat's trainer said she might have been faster then him anyways i love these horses why the heck do they send retired horses to slaughter seriocly just for our need i hate elmers glue why? you ask cause they use a part or the horse like the bones or something i hate slaughter -_- if i ever am president im gonna stop ill make a law stateing you CANT send ANY horse to a slaughter house wait scratch that ALL animals thats just creul what they do to these animals!

  • thts impossible yes its sad no its not right but there is nothing you do to stop all slaughter nad they make glue out of their hooves but now they dont they use chemicals now

  • Ruffian wasn't immediatly euthanized. she underwent surgery and then was eunthanized because she thrashed and broke her other leg. and she broke her front ankle, not her back leg.

  • How could anybody send horses to a slaughter house, especially afters its ran itself right into the ground tp try its best and win the races for its owners.

  • Why the H*ll did they let those beautiful horses go to the slaughter house?!?!? D.........8

    Humans are so stupid/cruel sometimes! T.T

  • Poor baby, I hated to see him go. I wanted him to win Belmont so bad, so we'd finally have us another TC winner. But it wasn't meant to be, I guess.

  • Ruffian wasnt euthanized straight away... they tried to save her, but she struggled in her stall and broke her other leg and then was

  • Phar Lap was accidently poisoned, its just that you were making it sound intentional.

  • Umm exactly how many lengths did Barbaro win by in the Kentucky Derby, because last I heard Secretariat hold's that record.

  • No she didnt break her shoulder she broke her other leg with the cast she had on her other leg because when she woke up she thought she was still running

  • acctually ruffian was operated on then in her stall she rared and her cast broke and she broke her elbow then was put down!

  • actually you got the stallpart right, but when she was asleep, she thought she was still racing and started to run while still laying on her side, shehit her Leg on the wall and cracked it more, she was finaly put down. Im not meaning anything that r sayin was horiblebc that couldve happened, but im telling it how my mom told me

  • well um acctually i have seen the story on many videos and many websites and some said she rared and some said that she was throwing her legs in the air trying to run but she couldn't so 1 has 2 b tru

  • Ok srry.  im just goin by how i heard it. srry

  • i read somewhere that as she was coming out of anesteshia (idk how 2 spell that) and she flailed her legs and broke her cast leaving irrepairable damage. . . . but i doubt that she would have reared if she was just coming out of anesteshia because i doubt she would have been able to get up yet standing

  • she didnt rear she flailed around and thrashes around she was laying down but the cast hit her elbow and broke it and iundid the surgury also i thinke she broke her other leg now when they wake em up they put a sling on em n put em in a pool till they stop thrashing

  • she didnt rear she was coming out of the medince they gave her an threashed around an broke her shoulder

  • What about Secretariat?

    D:

  • nevermind, sorry

  • he didn't have a fall he just died in his stall so they didn't need to mention him!

  • it;s good that you care. many racehorses die each year. they are not ours to use.

  • i liked the old song better

  • technically all race horses share a b-day so barbaro was 4 years old when he was put down but his date of birth he was put down 3 months before

  • Nice vid

    Just want to mention that Go For Wand wasn't undefeated though, she had 2 second place runs, one as a green 2 yo and one when she struggled a bit on a surface she didn't like.

    Overall she was a super filly and an abysmal loss. :(

  • Ruffian was operated on and when the anesthesia wore off she shattered her leg again and had to be euthenized.

    One of the horses in the video was captioined as having died at the ripe old age of 15. Horses live 30 years....

  • Actually ruffian shattered her seasmoid bone in her front leg that was successfully repaired in surgery. She then broke her other leg while in recovery. She panicked and thrashed. They could not save her with two broken legs. She is buried at Belmont Park with her nose facing the finish line.

  • Yeah I know. lol. This is an old video, I made more recent ones.

  • Exceller was slaughtered in Sweden not Japan.

    But nice Vid

  • Barbaro was put down on my birthday =[

  • bummer

  • seabiscuit didnt really break his led he ruptured sumthin and he strained it but obviously he healed n yes he died of a heart attack common in his blood line considering man o war his grandsire also died of a heart attack

  • Ginger punch isnt dead

  • I have to admit, the tribute to Seabiscuit seems rather out of place, given that these are all horses that met their ends on the track or at the hands of thieves. Yes, he broke his leg, but he came back to run again and lived to be about 14. If you're going to commemorate him, why not mention every other great racehorse that has died? Where's Eclipse? Seattle Slew? Whirlaway?

  • This was a great video , The only thing is that it really aggravates me that they didnt go into full detail about how barbaro actually died , He did shatter his leg but thats not what killed him , His leg healed fine , It was going back to normal but then he got laminitus and thats what killed him , But i like the video :)

  • Ruffian broke her right front leg and died after rebreaking it while coming out of surgery. She was a beautiful filly - she will always be remembered.

  • ruffian broke her leg when breaking from the gate she hit her left shoulder and put all he weight on her right leg breaking it then ran on it totally shattering it then rebroke it after surgery

  • This was nice, but there were a few mistakes. Ruffian actually broke her right front leg. Seabiscuit died at age 14 of a heart attack. And some of those pictures of Go For Wand were most definately not her. I liked it, though!

  • Yeah one of GfW was of Ginger Punch.

  • seabiscuit died of a heartattack and they tried to save ruffian but she woke up from the surgerey thrashing her legs and broke her other leg and rebroke the other then they eunthinized her

  • I hate horse racing. It's sick and cruel and so many horses have died in this so called "sport"

  • I agree.
