Great pics here,though very,very sad about the two fatalities......that horse in the pic who died had no chance.
Thats sport though.

Fair enough. I don't really understand the Grand National, the fact that fatalities are to be expected just seems weird to me.

i must admit, i feel guilty about betting on races when fatalities occur.
after all,they are only running to make people money,and are just tools of the trade.

Horses break down in dressage, point to pointing, flat racing and even cantering at home, the knives will always be out for national hunt racing when there's a fatality in a high profile race, but it's hardly like it's the only scenario where horses can get injured. |

Not denying that, same as you get the occasional death in any sport - even in football you hear about an increasing number of players dying in matches. But the national is an annual event and there's a death every year which is why it stands out from the rest. |
