That may be true but i prefer to stick to the trends which surround big races of long standing - i did alright today with 3 good winners. Here are 3 things to take into consideration when making your selections. 19 of the last 20 winners were aged 9 or over. (That gets rid of 8 of the 40 runners and 3 of the reserves). Every winner since 1970 has won over 3 miles or more. And only 1 winner (Neptune Colonges 2 years ago) in over 30 years has been off the racecourse for more than 50 days prior to running in the National. (11 of the 40 runners and 1 reserve have been absent for longer). Following the stats is not an exact science but it is a starting point and, in my very humble opinion, beats the pants off sticking a pin in a newspaper.
Tambo, you present a very poor argument in defence of a cruel race.!!
A galloping horse has evolved to gallop, if it has an accident and is put down, thats life. It did not evolve to gallop with a person sat on its back and jump high fences and being whipped.
//no racing = less quality horses.// what nonsense! it just means less racing horses. there are plenty of horse breeds around that are not related to race horses and if there was still the demand for that type of horse then horse breeders will still breed them.
Sorry you will not convince me that horse racing is humane but I am sure that people that support horse racing will justify it in their own minds.
