It was a bit of a disaster last year it has to be said. It really saddened me and I love racing. I also love horses and spent many of my early years around them.
However, the course has been much modified in recent decades and the life of a racehorse is one of comparative luxury compared to many horses outside it.

Roberto Goldback - I've said it before and I'll say it again, lump on! It's a license to print money.

The horses like they wouldn't do it if they didn't. A lot bigger than the jockeysbobmcfc said:I really hate the way they make the horses jump ridiculously high fences, Not for me thanks.

Running is so natural to them and I'm not against it at all. Some of those fences are just beyond belief. I cried at seabiscuit and secretariat is one of my favourite films, they are built to run. I don't believe in fences

I've had a look at that this evening and it looks a really good shout. Henderson has had 4 wins today and Gereghty is also on board.

Ah seabiscuit.... I cried too ;-)
Red Rum was my favourite National horse ever. When you look back at the old footage of him you can see he loved the jumps. His ears used to prick up and then he'd belt out on the flat almost relishing the thought of the next jump.
I've seen more cruelty in regular riding stables if I'm honest. Some horses, when I went riding, were ridden from morning till night until the day when they were sent to the knackers yard.

My sister owns three horses and they are her world. She's up on the moors twice a day looking after them. If you have never seen secretariat you should watch it, it's even better that the seabiscuit film imo
