Acorn4 BS: Grand National (35) RE: BS: Grand National 07 Apr 14


There are actually more fatalities at Cheltenham than Aintree because of the nature of the course.

One of the problems with the National is that owners want a horse in it for prestige, even if the runner is way below the official handicap minimum, and it is often these that cause the pile-ups.

The sport is a bit of a forelock-tugging anachronism; I used to follow it about 20 years ago but would have no regrets if it went and was relegated to paintings on pub walls.
