Horse jumps into crowd/Grand Annual Steeplechase Carnage - Warrnambool 2011

During the running of the Grand Annual Steeplechase at the May Warrnambool Jumps Carnival, there was carnage on the racetrack as numerous horses fell and one horse jumped over a 2 metre fence into a crowd of spectators injuring young children and the elderly.

The Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses believes this is further proof as to why a ban on jumps racing is necessary as the sport will never be made safe.

If I was a thoroughbred and a trainer said to me. "BobBrownSucks, you are pretty ordinary on the flat, but you do have natural jumping ability. Would you like to race over the jumps? or go on a live export ship to the middle east?" "How high do you want me to jump Mr. Trainer?

Congratulations to Dennis NAPTHINE (a qualified vet) for his support of the Jumps Racing Industry. An industry that employs and provides opportunities for thousands of people in our great state. It is also an industry that provides wonderful opportunities for horses to showcase their talents on the track.

You've all had your 5 minutes of fame.. Now stop the jaw flapping and whinging about something that will never change. Hang on! How about you all ban equestrian and cross country too. What ill informed people. How come you don"t harp on about the track death tallies in all horse races, including trackwork ? Or is that beyond your comprehention?

Okay, I can see how it's important to the economy. But seriously, why are we putting animals and peoples welfare below all else? Its all for money. What a sickening world this is where there are so many deaths and yet the racing still isn't banned! Jumps racing is in no way humane!

Love how my comments were deleted, freedom of speach obviously isn't something that horseracingkills agrees with, unless it's their's. 18.000 horses do not die in horse racing every year.. It's about time the facts are clearly stated horseracingkills. Delete this again if you must but it just goes to show how wrong you are. :)

are you the people that took this video??

[nicholasdebritz]

This bloke (in this video) sounds like most of these anti-lifestyle groups getting around these days. They claim they represent the masses, but really represent a small minority of people whose purpose in life is to convince the government to take as much away from the community as they can, provided it doesn't disadvantage them. Get a life mate... Zero respect. Most of these anti-lifestyle groups are only created for news purposes and are shown on 'slow' news days just to piss people off.

@entourageracingclub if a PERSON chooses to get smacked in the head for a living thats THEIR CHOICE! a horse doesnt choose its career the people that own it choose it for them. no horse on this planet is created to jump obstacles at such speeds. u watch that video at :35 and see how that horse slows itself up to jump that fence compared to the rest of the horses being charged into the other jump. there is a massive difference. im a horse owner no way would i put my horse in this position

[entourageracingclub]

what about boxing, people smacking each other in the head, should that be banned as well?
