True, but it's the horses that decide they won't attempt the fence, and send the jockeys flying....

As I said, I'm in two minds about it. Part of me says its just wrong. However, that is precisely why I watch it (I'm not interested in horse racing at all). It's like watching Formula 1 with guaranteed crashes
