prideothenorth Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Might be wrong but never seen a Horse Racing thread yet so with the Grand National being run today, what are you backing?. Here are my selections, Gaillard Du Mensil, Coach Rambler and Sam Brown ( each way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I fear for the sustainability of the Grand National in the next decade and jump racing as a whole As we have seen with other types of activists there is no grey area with these people and their main objective is to burn down everything - so if the BHA cave with the Grand National that wont be enough for them. These are not just horses - they are racehorses - specifically bred to run fast and trained to jump obstacles They wouldn't be around if it wasnt for racing That's not to say everything should be done to reduce the risk to them as much as possible but it will never be zero They could trip out in their own field and break a leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
