A Heartwarming Story of a Horse’s Resilience in the Face of Adversity

A Horse’s Dramatic Fall During a Race in Australia Ends with Standing Ovation from Spectators

An unusual accident unfolded this past Saturday in Sydney, Australia at the Randwick racecourse. The horse named Think About It was participating in the Sydney Stakes when it abruptly collapsed during the race, as reported by the specialized media outlet RaceNet.

Think About It, a legendary horse, had emerged victorious in the Sydney Everest race in 2023, one of the most renowned horse races in the world. It was reported that the animal suffered from internal bleeding, which led to its sudden fall. Immediately after the incident, jockey Jason Collett rushed to assist the fallen horse, a moment captured in a video shared by the Spanish newspaper Marca.

The stunned spectators witnessed race officials setting up a large screen to shield their view, typically indicating that a horse is at risk of being euthanized. However, to the surprise and relief of onlookers, Think About It, who had amassed more than 12 million dollars in career earnings, was instead escorted back to its stable amidst cheers and applause from the crowd.
