I'm not anti the race but can't watch it. Breaks my heart every time one falls and doesn't get up.

That is why I am anti this race. Shameful cruelty to animals.

Truthfully. I do feel the same BUT cba with the outcry saying that on here. They have made it less dangerous but too many horses die at Aintree every year.

I remember when this was a major national event, everyone in our family used to have a little flutter and I imagine most others.
I didn't even know it was being run today, or was it yesterday?

Yesterday. I recall our office sweepstakes etc but think that all tailed off. Not sure why. Maybe how easy it is to bet properly on the race these days?

happens in other races too. Not just a Grand National problem. The jockeys know what they can and cannot do. Should be banned if guilty.

All the horses survived
Jockeys know when not to push the horse and if they do should get a long ban

Not a good betting race for myself and HID's annual flutter. Nothing at all this year.
