The Grand National...poll
As requested I have started a new thread for healthy debate about the Grand National.For the purposes of this thread, the Grand National (GN) is taken to mean the Saturday race not the whole meeting.
Can the race ever justify the horses losing their lives? 2 died yesterday.

I find it heartbreaking that Ornais (sp?) and Dooneys Gate lost their lives. And one to a broken neck, the other a broken back...
I think while any horses are losing their lives it should be stopped. 20 horses dead since 2000

Can you be more specific regarding what changes Ramble?
Fewer runners.
Changes to the jumps which have been statistically proven to cause the most deaths and or injuries.
Possibly shorter...if not shorter, far fewer jumps.
For the poll though I was just interested in whether people wanted changes or whether they saw no need for it.
