I have had a bet today and a win sure would make it a great day.

But all 40 horses returning safely home would make it a great day too.

We've already chatted about this but for me, I cannot place money in a race where animals are shot just for falling over!

If there is serious damage then yes it's more humane but simply because the horse will have a permanent limp & not make any money????

No. I can't support that at all!

I never bet on or watch the National anymore, it is too much to ask IMO, not a fair race.

Hate horse racing with a passion, mainly because i used to live in a town with a racecourse and the amount of wankers who attend annoyed the hell out of me!!

Horses are beautiful animals, that's not the discussion here.

Giving money to an activity that shoots these animals, that's my issue!

Having had and been around horses all my life, shooting is often a kindness, they are not an animal that deals well with the stresses of long term injury. I understand and respect your feelings towards horse racing and many share them but just saying that the shooting bit is only a cruelty to the witnesses not the animal x

Pleased to report all 40 finished safe and sound.

I used to be in a syndicate owning a race horse. On numerous visits to the stable you can see how well the horses get treated day in day out.

Well this is the fifth year in a row all the horses came back safe. The mention of shooting horses had me thinking there was a sniper on the roof of the main stand

Im with you on this.. I'm not against horse racing but the national is over crowded and almost always results in some injury it seems.

Weird how there is no evidence to suggest they're more likely to be injured in that single race isn't it?
