The fence after the canal turn was a proper mess!! They did well to avoid that carnage, The canal turn first time round only mr Slavin who had all the time in the world to measure his jump, got it all wrong, the horse jumped it, he was poorly positioned and went over the top. After that carnage at the fence after the canal, it calmed down.

40-runner limit gets rid of the no-hopers nicely.
Born By The Sea (number 40) finished 6th, beaten just 10 lengths, and picked up a well-deserved £30,000 for his owners. |

True he did finish sixth but how many fell and pulled up.
|
|
By:
Numbers 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 fell or were pulled up.
Best ban the best horses from the race then. |

Look all i am saying is that if we want to take the race from the headlines then maybe reducing the no of runners will help (29 runners when Bobbyjo won) but hey thats just my oplinion.have a nice evening.

And I'm saying don't try and find an angle to knock the race, or there won't be a race in future. We want to celebrate the race and put it in the headlines. Not be on the defensive or inventing problems that aren't there.
A good evening to you too!  |

By:
Yep, it's a slippery slope once you start caving.
Look at all the changes in the last 10-15 years and is the race actually safer now? So what is next? Another round of changes and horses will still die and get injured, so what then? |
|
By:
Making the fences easier and the field sizes smaller has led to the riders being able to go flat-out.
It was the case that you used to need a horse with 2-mile speed in the National, because everyone went steadily. Not any more. |

Remains one of the 2% on here who understands the intricacies of racing. |

40 rnrs is the National,makes it the spectacle what it is.
Not as though the course isn't big enough. |
|
By:
Reduce the race to 5 runners and the anties would still want it banned.
No more changes..stand our ground and tell them to f**k off back to their leftie Universities |

Rico correct in highlighting there are far worse dangers in other sports then Racing. Let's keep things in perspective plz
