Re: Grand National
Oh dear this is another one of these ify topics, isn't it?!!
I wont be betting or watching because i disagree with horse racing. when they are doing well (winning races or showing potential to win races) the horses may want for nothing but if not then most of them are put down because they are unsuitable for normal riding - mostly because they are too loopy loo due to all the in breeding. The other thing is that they're backed far too young - which isn't good for developing spines and bones. Then there is the other juicy issue of its links with hunting...
Sorry hope i haven't sparked something here - just wanted to say why i wont be betting etc
Anyway good luck to those of you having a bet on it
