Why do i have a flutter on the Grand National ,when i know its Bastardisingly Cruel to the G-G's ?

Question

do i bet cos everyone does as i know its so cruel

*head hanged in shame*

Answer 1

The fences are impossibly high and not level on both sides. four and a half mile 'romp' my a.r.s.e!!!

My last punt on the national was "Aldanite" with Bob Champion on board... guess what?.... it won.

One loose horse can take out 10 others , a la "Fionavon" 100/1 shot away back in the black and white tv era.

50p each way on a horse that might die..... shame!!

Answer 2

HEDGEHUNTER.....25/1

Answer 3

It ain't cruel, the horses love it, how do you explain so many horses completing the race when they have already unseated the riders, have you ever tried to stop a bolting horse? Have you ever tried to make a horse run when it wants to stop for a drink????

Answer 4

A horse died today at Aintree , the National is no different only more runners. That's horseracing, take it or leave it!

Answer 5

Horses are bred and trained to take risks, that is racing.  Sadly 2 horses died today in the Topham Chase over the National fences today.  It is up to each individual to decide on the ethics of racing and what is right..

Answer 6

Wel, its only legal
