tinfoilhat   11 #87 Posted April 14, 2012 Hard to find anything on the news websites! They have all the results about winners and money made, not so interested in the death of the competitors!  Theyve been talking about it on and for the past half hour on 5live.

Anglersvista   10 #88 Posted April 14, 2012 The Grand National is a sporting event, a great and fantastic part of this country's history, supported by Kings and Queens. It's not animal cruelty. Horses are bred to run, they love it...look at how many unseated horses continued to run and jump; no jockey on their back making them. Yes, I've already said, it's sad about the two horses that died, but, hey, that's life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
