You Are a S atellite ::|| My Favourite Horses [02:48]
Read description!! Hello all. A new video here. I apologise for the HIDEOUS quality of a lot of the pictures, I'm not sure why it's so horrible, but I didn't have clipd for most of them! ALSO yet again I have two strikes so I could very well be deleted for the third time very soon. I'm in the process of getting a backup account sorted so bear with... ANYHOO, this video is just a personal thing for me really. All the horses in this video mean something to me. I'm quite a new racing fan (been into it about four years now) so I've only included more recent horses-there are many more like Secretariat, Red Rum, Desert Orchid, Arkle etc from years ago who would have made the list too! Some of these horses you will be familiar with, others not so much (jump racing is only popular in Britain where I Iive really). There's a mixture of flat horses and jump ones. They're not necessarily the 'greatest horses' of all time, but to me they are all special in some way. Some appear more than once because I had good clips of them, eg Frankel, Denman etc. My american racing isn't up to scratch, and these are the horses from America who have really captured my interest. Who are of you guys' favourite horses? Whack them in the comment box if you want :) Here is a list of the horses all in the order they appear in the video: Frankel (No explanation needed, best horse in the world, unbeaten in 13 races so far, and I'm going to see him race at Ascot next week!! Cannot wait) Snow Fairy (7 time ...
New York Watch: Palice Malice [01:35]
Palace Malice became the first North American winner sired by multiple Horse of the Year Curlin with a dominant 3-½ length maiden score Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. The Dogwood Stable color-bearer will now be pointed for the Grade 2, $300000 Three Chimneys Hopeful on Monday, September 3. Sent out by Saratoga leading trainer Todd Pletcher, Palace Malice was making his second career start. In his debut on July 5 at Belmont Park going five furlongs, the bay colt had a rough trip and raced greenly through the stretch, placing second to the promising Carried Interest by a half length, with 6 ¾ lengths separating him and the third-place finisher. In Saturday's seventh race, an $80000 maiden event at 6 ½ furlongs on the dirt, Palace Malice broke alertly, tracked a swift pace while running three wide down the backstretch, took over on the turn, and cruised home to an easy victory under jockey Javier Castellano, while still running somewhat greenly through the stretch. He paid $2.70 to win for a $2 wager as the overwhelming 1-5 favorite in the field of seven. "We expected him to run well like he did first time out and maybe improve, but you never take anything for granted in this business," said Pletcher, who leads the Saratoga meet with 14 victories through Saturday. "He's still learning, and we were happy to see him win like this. It's exciting to see a colt that is bred the way he is to show the kind of speed that he has, and you would think he would only improve as the ...

Olympic Opening Ceremony 1956 Stockholm Equestrian Games (Amateur Footage) [02:23]
After the IOC awarded the Games of the XVIth Olympiad to Melbourne in Victoria, Australia they learned that Australian quarantine laws required a six-month quarantine period for horses entering the country. As the six-month quarantine made it impractical for competitors horses to be transported to Australia, this precluded Melbourne from being able to host the equestrian events at the 1956 Olympic Games. It was decided, actually in violation of the Olympic Charter, to contest separate Equestrian Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden, from 10 through 17 June 1956. At the 50th IOC Session in Athens on 13 May 1954, Stockholm was chosen to host the Equestrian Olympics over Paris, France; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Berlin, Germany; and Los Angeles, California, USA. The 1956 Equestrian Games were held without major political incidents, although some would occur a few months later and affect the Games in Melbourne in November. The opening ceremony was quite unusual as all competitors came in on their mounts, including the flag bearers. Hans Wikne brought the Olympic Flame into the stadium on horseback and lit the main torch. Karin Lindberg and Henry Eriksson held lighted torches, ran towards the stadium tower with the torches and lit flames there. Sweden's Henri Saint Cyr recited the oath of the athletes while on his horse, and later won two gold medals in individual and team dressage. This was matched by Germany's Hans Günter Winkler, who won gold medals in the individual and team ...
