Register your disgust........ I hate this paper

best UK paper.

Read it and learn.

typical Mail - I'm suprised they didn't allege the horses were ridden by asylum seekers

Paper written by tw*ts, edited by tw*ts and read mostly by tw*ts

All tabloids are the same - they'd screw their own family to get the latest scoop and don't give a sh*te who they step on.

...and don't get me started on the Sun

how did the bbc cover up? they expressed condolences on many occasions to jockeys, owners, trainers and stable staff of the horses affected. its a rag, making up lies about a race that tens of millions saw. id say about 1% of these viewers who watched and listened to the race were unaware of the deaths, and those people are obv not very good listeners

ANDY STEWART, owner of one of the two horses killed in Saturday’s John Smith’s Grand National, has hit out at tabloid newspaper coverage of the Aintree contest, slamming it a “disgrace”.

A number of Sunday titles vented spleen towards racing’s showpiece event, none more strongly than the Mail on Sunday, which devoted pages two and three to negative coverage of the race and its broadcaster, the BBC.

Stewart on Sunday said he was still grieving at the loss of Ornais, who suffered a fatal injury when fallingat Aintree’s fourth fence. However, he also blasted headlines that sensationalised accidents that, he said, were an inevitable part of the sport.


Andy Stewart:"Why are people writing this nonsense?"


“This was unfortunate, but I think the nonsense that has been written is a disgrace,” Steward told At The Races.

"Sadly, the horse fell at the fourth fence and died instantly.

"We're still grieving as far as that's concerned and I think this whole hyped-up situation regarding the Grand National is totally wrong.

“We love the sport and when I get up to read the papers, I think why are people writing this nonsense?”

Paul Nicholls, trainer of Ornais, backed Stewart and said: “We'll pick ourselves up and move on - you have to. I've never seen the course in such fantastic condition but unfortunately, although this is a great sport, accidents can happen.

"Like one paper said this morning, it doesn't matter how safe you make the M1, the M4, the M5, you're always going to have accidents. It's unfortunate when you have fatalities but it was a great race."

Don't know what the mortality rate is on the M1 but in the Grand National it is about 1%
If the M1 had a similar rate of death I doubt many drivers would brave it.

Horses in Grand National cause house prices to plummet shocker.
