Grand National

Does any body else think this race should be banned? I cannot understand why people would want to bet on these poor horses having to run and jump these enormous fences for ''fun''. Its a cruel and barbaric race, and two horses lost their lives, did they ask for this???

Horses die in many races, it just doesn't get the same publicity as the Grand NAtional.

Should it be banned? Only if all hours racing is banned.

Should all horse racing be banned? YES.

This has been covered on another thread already.

Apologies!?!?!? I didn't see it. Have now read the thread and add my thoughts (above) to it.

Why do they keep jumping when they get rid of the jockey, are they all masocists?
