Where I am, I don't actually bet on the Grand National but a Cousin does and when we go in to do so, there are staff on hand to help people write out their bets and advise them and there is even light refreshments on hand too.

Very rarely have we seen really long queues or hold ups at the actual counter on Grand National day.

I know it is a race this divides opinion,I am probably more against it than for it myself and I wish the fences were easier but even when a jockey is unseated, often the horse will continue running the race and even still jump the fences too.
So clearly the horses in the main must enjoy it.

I've been betting in this race for over 30 years, and I've only ever had the winner once (Seagram 1991).

This year I haven't even looked at the form, jockey or trainer, I've just gone for three big prices.

That's because Horses do love running.

The Sport itself is fine if as you said they lowered the Fences so it was less dangerous for the Horses to jump.
