The Grand National is always a terrific spectacle, looking forward to watching it.

I never bet on it though, it's too much of a lottery of a horse race to gamble on.

It's a barbaric race, in fact the whole weekend is. It's akin to bull fighting. Time it was banned.

If the horse does not want to jump the fence it jusr refuses, it is not as if it is on a par with fox hunting?

It is a contact sport involving animals, so do we ban all contact sports regardless of the species involved?

I have backed Many Clouds and Gallant Oscar

Horses are often drugged to mask injuries and whipped to the final line. It's not for me. I can't watch it much to my families disgust as a close family member is a trainer. It's beyond cruel.

It is a very highly regulated sport, do you think that drugging a horse out of it's long face would not go unnoticed?

I think folk get way to absorbed in animal politics. if we didnt domesticate them there would not be so many same with most farm yard animals. But we do and we do it with a purpose in mind (im a horse lover by the way)whether it be to hack out how many are harmed on public roads ?. Showjumping three day eventing barging they all carry risks. And the best of intentions are always with the horse. I wonder if many have contact with racehorses these beasts love to race (family has had a few) so if you removed it this line of horses lifes wouldnt be as fulfilled as it is now

only ever on medical grounds some would have you believe it was other things. If its on course screens are put up the race course vet will attend and make a decision if the injurys are treatable or if its more humane to allow the horse to die from medical intervention. Off course could be heart problems airway problems gastric problems. And again most responsible owners contact their vet who makes the decision (yes money can come into it with the price of treatment able to run into tens of thousands)

Sometimes it is a broken leg or similar injury. Horse racing can be pretty cynical, if a horse is no longer an earner owners might decide to destroy it.

That said, the story of Dream Alliance is proof that it doesnt need to be that way.
