So.....Er.....Who we havin' in the National then?

I dislike this race as it makes me cringe.

I'm sure there are other problems with Horse Racing, but I hate watching this. All over the same fence at the same time and when they fall you just know what's coming.

I know horses die in other races, but this one just seems more chaotic. I'm probably wrong. I watched most of Cheltenham and saw 0 deaths. The national has had at least 1 in the last 4 years.

Just make it safer somehow and i'm in.

I'm a bit like you as well regarding the National, I much rather the regulation fences.


"Just make it safer somehow and I'm in."

They have Nethermoor. Watching the race yesterday, the fences seemed to fall apart when the horses touched them. There seemed no body in them at all.

Visually it may look like plenty of 'birch' flying around, but the fences themselves are very soft.

The Super Boost strikes again at 7/4, 2 days in a row.

I am out of touch, didn't realise it was moved back 75 minutes to the more traditional time.

There are no super offers to allow you to guarantee a winner, so will try Limerick Lace EW.

Wonder if it will be shown in the ground, they never used to and it will go on well into the 2nd half.

For a few seasons I had a Main Stand season ticket at Maine Road and the National was always a big deal, punters would hang on in the bar gathered around a tranny man, always seemed to start just after half time.

Great innit, all smoke and mirrors. “Going good to firm” like that means an ounce of shit your once a year punter.

The Yukon is twice the size of the UK and I am sure they cull plenty of the horses to control numbers. Horses breed like rabbits and you have to control their populations.

They catch the males and cuts their balls off , i watch the yukon vet a lot , lol

Ask most men on here and they'd rather be culled than lose their bollocks!
