2011 John Smiths Grand National - YOUR BETS?

Fucking awful I don't bet on it. Poor horses man the one that snapped its neck and didn't get up knocked me sick.
 
I had a £5 win on both Big fella thanks and Oscar time.

Gutted because Oscar time looked like he was gunna do him aswell but i got lucky because i pulled Oscar time out in the sweepstake and got £20 back.

Exactly Anton. The fences are too extreme, much more fun in seeing the majority of the field finish in my book. I know were going to get the 'well don't watch ' brigade on in a minute, but watching the horses in the parade ring knowing that chances are a couple were in the last twenty minute of their lif wasnt entertainment. Hope they didn't suffer.

I love jump racing, you get the odd fall but that's either a jockey fault or a mistimed jump from he horse. Some of the fences in national or just pure luck if you land them and to see a horse, in the prime of it's life just die through no fault of it's own just a ridiculous fence in it's way is pure cruelty.

I don' like to see any animal suffer, and to 2 horses die purely down to the track it's been forced to run on is terrible. I only hope they re-structure the course for next year

They should certainly re-structure becher's brook because the landing is two foot lower than the taking off.
 
I had £55 ew on Ballabriggs so a good day for me at the national but I have to say the deaths of those two horses and the injured jockey is a bit sickening. If there is anything that can be done to make it less dangerous then it should be done.
