The Grand National – one of the most famous horse races. The Grand National at Aintree has been taking place since 1839, this year Ballabriggs won the Grand National. However two horses died during the race, 19 of the 40 starters finished the race.

The horse have to jump 30 fences, but why jumps?

Why can’t they have a flat race when they know these fences will cause pain and death to horses?

Is this not another form of human cruelty to animals?

Time to stop this cruelty to horses in the name of sport.

This is all about money.
