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.

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.

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.

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.

Shouldn't be banned 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.

No it will not


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

This is a Mega Betting Day.

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

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