GRAND NATIONAL

OK. I know nothing about horse racing but I thought it would be cool to guess which one you think will in. Just for fun! >>Place your bets!!!<< (Here's a list of the horses in the race http://www.grand-national-guide.co.uk/grand-national-runners.php I normally pick by funniest name or the colour of the jockey's outfit! You only have a couple of hours till it starts I think!

Only 15 of the 40 horses entered finished the race, and two have died (so far). Just for fun, eh!

I'm not sure how I feel about horse racing. It shocks me that animal cruelty in this sense is so widely acceptable to many people. I watched about 30 seconds of it today and felt disgusted at human beings. We can't seem to have fun without whipping the crap out of or killing other living things.

I must admit it was hard to watch the last bit when they go crazy at the end. They really don't need to do that. They should ban the whip.

I would be quite happy if all national hunt racing, showjumping, flat racing and indeed pleasure riding was banned. Horses break their legs with all these activies. It is not natural for a horse to have a human being on their back.

Too true unfortunately.we as a race are seriously flawed.

I think we should turn this into an animal rights thread in memory of those two horses.
