I'm not trying to rage bait or anything, i genuinely want to know how something like this could occur. I am a rider but this event always worries me and I just googled to check if all the horses were okay today and saw this.

Poor baby :(

edit - I also don't want to look up any videos of the end of the race as it sounds devastating.
