did the jockeys survive?

[pinolobu]

@DarkerMoonshadow AFAIK, yes.

[dinney123]

was the jockey carried off ok? what ended up happening to him?

[pinolobu]

@dinney123 As far as I know, the jockey was carried off OK. I don't know what happened to him eventually / whether he continued racing after his recovery.

[Sami13p]

yea this looks like a really small track i mean the horse with the yellow blinkers looked like a yearling! and they call that van an ambulance? must be a fair or somthing.

[pinolobu]

@Sami13p it's not a proper ambulance, it's just a van owned by the racetrack. The track is about 500m around.

It's not skinny, it's a racehorse, it's supposed to be that way.

[Cherryblossum09]

Race horses are skinny... but their bones don't stick out like that, and they have muscle. Those horses aren't cared for like they should be.

[nygnyg1]

these are not thoroughbreds..they are small and malnourished must be a SABAH thing

[nygnyg1]

Where the hell is SABAH????

[IBsagacious]

Racehorses are lean and fit, not starved looking scarecrows. The gray is far too thin.

Racehorse are physically fit thats why they are supposed to be THIN and muscular, they are not skinny. No trainer is going to run his horse if they arent in peak condition, theres just no point. Im a trainer. Racehorses are galloped daily and fed according to their training schedule, more they work more they eat. They work their carbs and fat into muscle in order to run faster and longer. Believe me they are fed plenty. I am speaking of American racing, these horses probably arent so lucky.
