Grand National

[Arriba]

i've watched this race on the highlights and have concluded that it's fucking cruel on the horses.
never really noticed before, but that was fucking extreme pressure on those nags.
did any die today?

Not according to whoever it was I asked just after I got out of work. Don't know if that's changed though.

i like a bet on the horses, but it just made me think is it worth it?
i wont bet on the dogs as they get treated awfully,but i'm starting to think the horses dont get it much better.

The gruelling course resulted in 10 falls and another horse was brought down, but there were no fatalities. 

n all, 14 horses finished and 25 either fell, lost their riders or were pulled up. One horse refused to start.

A bloke near me at Col U today got a call when the race finished, he'd won and went mental, jumping around like we'd been promoted, we were 2 down at the time......

Unless I owed a few quid to "Mad Frankie McChainsaw-Your-Bollocks-Off", nothing would've got me jumping around like a twat like that. I'd driven 130-odd miles and it's all about STFC......

Maybe it's just me.
