Corach Rambler ridden by Derek Fox clears a fence on the way to winning the Randox Grand National Handicap Chase during day three of the Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree
Why do those who support horse racing think it is acceptable for three horses to be killed in that bloodsport known as the Grand National?
Every year horses are killed in this so called sport of kings. I just hope all of you that placed a bet on this race and whooped with joy when they won a few quid are now holding your heads in shame. But I won't be holding my breath - most of those really are not interested in the animals' welfare at all.
