Now that's what I call a working Jockey-Horse relationship.

Horse: “You should let me out with no reins and then you’d see me really go”

A - this is a professional at work B - imagine the lead this thoroughbred would’ve had with the reins both in hand!

Jockey's are not just "weight" they actually are part of the team. Good for James. Good horseman.

Absolutely a classic piece of brilliant Horsemanship, this is one for the books. I salute you.

They both have hearts of tigers... Good on them the rider for holding his composure and the grey for not giving up, I did have my heart in my mouth when they almost crashed into the wing of the hurdle.

Who needs reins? Me: well they do help... great ride.

Amazing ride! What a great horse! What a great rider!

Marching on together great ride Jimmy lad

All bow to Mot a Mot for just going like the clappers with little steering from his jockey. The horse Knows what his job is and just went for it. The jockey for a fantastic job under the circumstances and rode beautifully. Great teamwork. PS: That grass looks really long, far too long for flat racing.

A brilliant piece of riding.

Great ride from Mr Bowen.If he can win the race with one rein he might have the potential to run in the champion hurdle one day.

Lucky for him it was a bumper😮

Fantastic ride James Bowen brilliant

Quality ride 👌Nice one James Bowen

Absolutely brilliant ride.

That's what happens when you give your horse free rein... free full stride & non-resistence to run at full potential... only responding to leg, body & voice commands... beautiful relationship of trust between horse & rider 🦋

When you can win without steering the horse has bags of ability as does young bowen

Wow fantastic, 👏🏻👏🏻beautiful horses 🐎

Would love to see the whole race. Had to be some great riding we missed.

Amazing! Nice one!

Great work..

It shows that you don’t have to kick a horse or insanely move your hands to make him win the race, this is a really good rider, and I wish every jockey in the racing industry was like him

Awesome performance

Well done Sir.. Great Ride (cool dude)🐎

Big respect from MOROCCO I like this jokey is the best and horse is so good

Well done great ride

Wow such a good horse video such a cute one u got. Alreaddy ready fornext ride I take. To calm my horse I feel calm and relaxed cuz I can listen to my favourite bands like MCR, Escape or new bands like Delta Parole, and others.

Jockeys are known to be the most supreme athletes among all of sport. Pound for pound, no one is stronger or better balanced than people who perch on the balls of their feet with a ton of living buttet under them. And this? The lagniappe--he was on a gray pony

Not a horse person. Never rode a horse in my life. So how on earth did he steer that horse? No reins, no legs. Most of the time hands in the air. Talking? Like left , right, faster faster? Amazing! I can only imagine the level of trust they have in each other and that horse and rider know each other extremely well. And of course superb riding skills of that man. Astounding remarkable awesome 🤩

@@stevehardy3680 Yep I have two RoR horses myself. Both not fast enough to line the owners pocket so they were sold on at rising 3yrs old. They are gorgeous and will live with me forever - I turned them away for six months so their skeleton and muscles could develop properly before bringing them back into work slowly as you would any youngster. But there are thousands an thousands of others who are not sound enough or have the mental attitude to be a pleasure horse and they are the ones who get sold on and on and can end up in the slaughter house (Check out the Panorama program). The life these racehorses lead is stabled for most of the day - except when training or racing - so they don’t get injured. Started under saddle before they are even fully developed and if the ‘break down’ (hmmm nice terminology for a broken leg or tendon) they are destroyed on the track. Did you see the photo of Gordon Elliot sitting astride the dead horse who had a heart attack during training. No care or respect for these magnificent creatures. And as for no racing no horses - its not about that its about the intensity and disrespect that they have during their lives. I say too many horses too many greedy owners. And as for your patronising comment to @Sarah about hugging a tree you need to grow up if you want your comments to be respected.

You should watch Fred winter and mandarin. He won the Big French steeplechase. Mandarins bit broke from the outset and mandarin broke down but Fred couldn't pull him up.

Watched it live I though the horse was just a bad horse going into the bend, but then seeing in the finish, what the issue Was and how well the jockey kept him going! Great ride 👍 I’m with mick fitz! it’s up there for ride of the month or me atleast!!

How did he stop?

Great ride... Steering with 1 rein on the left hand and the whip in the right hand to steer the horse... My horse finished almost 1st with the saddle and handicap weight on his belly instead of on his back. Poor jockey was in so much pain because of his high whiters...

@Oakleaf700

That is painful! I used to ride a retired Steeplechaser who has such incredibly high withers - the yard used to do bareback classes to strengthen our riding ability - and trotting and jumping on Owen was painful even for a girl! TB horses tend to have very high withers anyway, but Owen's were extreme. He was a darling though - very sweet natured.

The horse is brilliant!!!

Wow 👏

still had one rein...you can do a lot with one rein..and a right hand crop....cept corners oh and keep them on the leg you want .and obstacles ....just hold on to the mane :P Amazing riding. also he had his crop ....which you can use to steer ..especially to keep a horse straighter...the whole basics of dressage involves teaching horses to straighten with the aid of one or sometimes TWO whips ...or to cross over their legs etc with the whip.......you CAN in theory get a horse to change leg with a crop and no reins i suppose ....i would never like to try it though..i dunno how racehorses are trained but most horses are trained to yield to a crop or whip ...they are not just for impulsion...you can see him keeping the crop by the horses shoulder to get him to yield that side its the side that he doesn't have the rein on ...so he keeps him straight that way...ordinarily i presume jockeys would be putting the crop on behind their legs for impulsion ...but he couldn't as he needed it to steer. I presume jockeys are not allowed to strike the crop on the shoulder because its frowned upon even in normal riding circles (it does happen though)so its like a constant shoulder fore only moving lol!..im prolly not explaining this well.

I wondered that, too...I have seen a pair of brand new English made racing reins snap clean in two {from a racing supplier } where the horse got them caught in a stable door and raised her head suddenly - they snapped like cotton. {where the rubber pimple grip part ends where stitching caused a weaker point} ...but a flat race? It would be easier to understand on a national hunt race where the horse could have pecked on landing .
