Which Way Did They Go? Every Which Way in French Race

It was hard to keep track of the field as they went in all different directions

The phrase, “the race fell apart,” doesn't begin to describe what transpired at a beginner's steeplechase event in France Sunday.

Thankfully, for the 11 horses and riders involved in the incident at Castera-Verduzan, there were no injuries in what could have been a disaster after the field was scattered in all directions, leaving the race caller speechless.

The Racing Post says Maxime Le Galliard was one of only two jockeys to keep on the correct path during the breakdown of structure. Unfortunately for him, he was disqualified for triggering the entire mishap in the first place.

Video of the strange race has the makings of a viral hit. Watch for yourself below.
