Tomorrow, be more entertaining than whats on in Smethwick earlier Anyway, lets hear your picks, I have gone each way on Run Wild Fred, Kildisart and Two for Gold. Wide open race for me, nothing stands out, I see all the housewives money has gone on Blackmores, 14's into favourite.

I always used to put my curse (money) on whichever grey was running, therfore avoid at all costs. Don't recollect ever winning. 🤔

Cruelty in the name of Sport?
Think I'll give it a miss.

£5 free bets on Santini and Mount Ida.
It's not a serious betting proposition is it. Plenty of decent racing on in the other races though.

Wide open race for me, nothing stands out, I see all the housewives money has gone on Blackmores, 14's into favourite. Not quite. Pretty uneventful race but I suppose that's a good thing if the alternative is a load of horses being put down. I won jack shit as usual......

F£&king fuming about the winner.
My mum rang me after the race to say she put £1.25 EW on it and won £101. And that her friend told her to put money on it as she knows the owner and was told it’s in great form.
Other people my mum told (prior to the race) won £2500, £1400, £350
Cheers for the heads up mum!!!

Really got into it this year looking at form and stuff. Then think it was 3 races before the National saw a horse land on the back of its neck and another had a heart attack so thought 'fuck this I'm out' and went play golf instead

Fucking disgusting that in this day and age we, as human beings, are still willing to put innocent animals through this kind of torture, all in the name of sport. Have to admit that I put a bet on (only time I ever bet on horses) and then when I saw that horse stay down I just thought 'Was it worth it'. Felt the same at the end when the winner was being paraded but looked like it was shitting its pants. (not that horses wear pants). Not that I know much about horse racing but I felt the way they were whipping those 2 horses down the final straight was excessive as well.

I don't know much about it either and neither do I want to really. What I do know, is that this race is a freak show and is miles too long, with fences that are miles too high and is far too demanding on these animals. But as long as your average Joe gets a kick out of his 2.50 ew bet then who gives a shit whether a horse or two dies for the cause, after all its only a horse hey 😞 I'm ashamed to say, I used to be one of those average Joe's putting pointless bets on this race. Glad I've seen the light now though and would like to see it fucked off for good. I'm not lecturing anyone here by the way, just believe it's time to call this race a day.

As I’ve got older I’ve seen the light and haven’t bet on it in years. They’re such beautiful animals who deserve better. I can just about tolerate flat racing and standard jumps but the Nationals barbaric both in length, numbers and some of the jumps like the chair.

I won't even watch the race as I think it's disgusting what these majestic animals are forced to do. The death rate of horses in the National over the years is bad enough, but a horse apparently died (I think it was a pelvic injury deemed untreatable) after a fall in one of the races on Friday, and another died of a heart attack at the finish line in one of the earlier races on Saturday - the distress that those horses must have endured in the name of "sport" is absolutely terrible. Unfortunately one or two horses dying at Aintree each year seems to be "acceptable" as long as people can have a bet and a day out.
