The national

[Skashion]

Bacon Face said after the race that he thought it was unfair. He thinks that they should all finish at the same time.

Brilliant.

as there was no football yesterday took the kids to see the national ,never been to an event that was so well organised from stepping off at lime street to getting in the race course , they even provided free flip flops for the ladies on the way back,it cost £21 to get in and the 2 teenage kids were free ! we had 3 bets on every race only rule was it had to be 3 different horses put a total of £30 on and weirdly won £30 on the day,when you see events like that run as well as that and priced like that you start to realise we are been taken for mugs at football !!

The coverage is shocking. The whole point of the national is to watch a race and see a) who the leaders are, and b) where is my b*stard horse?!

Can they seriously not incorporate technology into the race? Ie; a graphic along the bottom with all the riders numbers and where they are?

Did I understand any of the commentary? Did I f*ck.

Horsemeat burgers for me tomorrow!

This has mentioned lots of times mate,and from what i can gather they are looking into it
So can only think it will be a matter of time tbh.

C4 had an app out for yesterdays race which allowed you to see how your horse was doing real time during the race i think.

I guess thats a start
As the other poster said though the sooner the in running horse numbers are shown at the bottom of the screen the better
The yanks have had this in place for years & german racing too

All it takes is a small gps in either the saddle or attached to the jockey.
