Please say i'm not the only one...

Who did not watch the Grand National?:suspect:

[Black Dagger]

I didn't watch.

[bbfan1991]

Phew:hugesmile:.

[Marsh.]

Not me either. Only time I watched was in 2010 when I was part of the sweep at work, and I won. lol

[Livia]

I didn't watch, and it appears I am in good company. I did something more befitting my intellectual status... I'm watching The Addams Family.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Ew

[Suze]

Never watched it either. Always some of the horses have to be put down, quite sad :( I have no time for the sport at all.

[Vanessa]

I just don't like it. :tongue:

[Flamingjoe]

I didn't watch it either.

[Doogle]

I was playing my ps2, LOL. Didn't know it was on.

[Redway]

No, had a mate over instead and we jammed on my XBOX 360.

Two broke their legs today and had to be destroyed. I have no problem with horse racing and a sport but this race, with those jumps, are unnecessarily cruel and dangerous.

All for money.

I didn't watch it, never do and hearing this: I'm all the more thankful I didn't see it. The GN should be banned.

[Maia]

Also didn't watch

[GypsyGoth]

Didn't watch.

[Livia]

All for money.

I'd be happy if they just modified it. Racehorses are some of the best cared-for horses... but making them attempt the National jumps is just ridiculous.

Sad news Livia,that's why I do not like it,it's cruel in my book.

[Novo]

Shouldn't be banned :bored: it just needs to carry less risk for the horses and every year now more and more things are being done to make it safer for the horses, there will always be injuries though unless there are new ways to treat horses because they are so injury prone

The GN today is as cruel and dangerous today as it has been since I was a kid, nothing changes. It should be banned. You have your opinion. I have mine.

[Marc]

I did not watch. If I had placed a bet on it I would have

[Boothy]

Shouldn't be banned, just amended.

[Mystic Mock]

I don't think it should be banned but I think the fences need to be lowered a bit.

And to answer the question yes I watched it as I had a sweepstake on it lol.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

No idea what it is

Hate that term, makes them sound like they were nothing.

No it will not


Its normal for Horses
to be put down due to injury.

This is a Mega Betting Day.

I think it is a race that needs some further modifications to it, Horses do though get injuries a lot of the time, even in flat racing.
I don't approve of animals being made to do things they don't like however and in my opinion some of the fences are too high and does there need to be so many as well,not only as to fences on the course but also the number of horses starting the race too.

The Horses bred for Racing do in the main love to race and that's shown when a rider falls off a horse but it still continues running riderless around the course and still jumping the fences too.

I would never put a bet on it but I did watch it,however it will never be banned, it is supported too heavily and the money changing hands as to it is massive,so no way will it ever be banned,I just hope it gets more modifications,especially to the fences and a reduction of numbers starting the race.

I am well aware that it is normal for horses to be put down due to injuries.

'Mega Betting Day' - oh we can't get in the way of a few beautiful animals being put down when Mans need for greed has to be satisfied - that just wouldn't do at all.

Life In The Fast Lane - when you're a horse, isn't so lovely afterall

[Marc]

The horse I bet on usually dies, so it's probably best I don't bet

I shouldn't laugh - but I will. :joker:
