Funny how when a horse breaks a leg over Beechers Brook in the Grand National and has to be put down with thousands there watching it at Aintree, millions more watching it on national TV and in betting shops up and down the country, it doesn't get the same publicity as this incident did.

Could it be because racing is a Royalty-endorsed "sport" and the other involves a minority group?

The words 'storm', 'teacup', 'priorities' and 'equality' are floating through my head.
