Horseracing accident at Royal Sabah Turf Club, Tanjung Aru
December 17th, 2008While most people were preoccupied with the F2 Powerboat World Cup my son pestered me to watch horseracing at Tanjung Aru instead.
We only stayed a few minutes, because an incident happened during the very first race we watched.
Two jockeys fell off, one apparently seriously injured. I am not sure if Ethan will like horses very much after this.
If there’s one thing I learnt, it’s to bring a point and shoot camera with video-taking capability at all times, you never know what might present itself…
…Were english saddles used?

Wow..that’s priceless…you caught it on video. I was hoping for scenes like this at the F2 race. Maybe I’ll visit the racetrack one Sunday.
Yes, I was quite lucky, if usage of that word is appropriate in this case.
Condition of RSTC public area leaves much to be desired though.
disney, we were wishing for the same thing but never happened. :-)
why it seem like the horseman r saved by audiences?
very very wrong way to carry an injured person. hope he will be fine.
Either Sabahan spectators are very helpful or they know the jockey.
If you noticed one guy even wanted to tear down the fence.
Dia mau naik bah itu tapi tu pagar punya kayu sdh buruk…
the jockey needs to learn from the master – ZORRO…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they were trying to move the jockeys away too to avoid the incoming racers.
wow dude… you got a better action then us with the F2 Power Boat…
We were getting restless waiting for the race to start – there was one horse which refused to go into the starting grid, even dropping its jockey in the process. Then, very first race, we got this happening right in front of us!
I hope he’ll be okay. Pretty nasty I can see.
Probably his or the other guy’s horse landed on him.
Siapa manang kalau ini semua berlumba 100 meter olympics style?? – a cheetah, the fastest horse in the world, a ferrari, a lamborghini, a formula one car, a mustang, a lion, Usain Bolt, a Boeing 747, soyuz TMA spacecraft, a Harley Davidson, FA-18 Hornet fighter jet, Harrier jet, MIG 29N, AK47 bullet, M16 bullet, Watson Nyambek, Dr M Jegathesan, Misbun Sidek, Suchart Jaesurapparp, Sumet Promna, Ratjai Saripet, Lydia De Vega, PT Usha, Flo-Jo, Ben Johnson, Benn S Bukag, Abu Bakar Ellah, Dud, Dunik and Rabuan Pit and Ellron Alfred Angin (former fastest men in Asia)??

1 saja yg boleh lawan semua tu – E=mc square!!!!!!!!! and it will create a BLACK HOLE….. VOID UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta hand it to one of the fallen jockeys’ horses — that stallion/mare kept with the race. Hope the hurt jockey’s OK.
