Poor beast. I didn't realise he got injured on Saturday.

He was put down immediately after the race.

The jockey was unseated at the 20th fence, the horse carried on and fell by itself at the 21st fence, and was taken back to the stables in the trailer.

It was announced immediately after the race. An RSPCA vet was in attendance.

I know he had an injury above his eye as one of the commentators metioned it before the race when the horse was getting groomed before. If he was injured then he should never have raced that is just plain cruel.

That is exactly why I am against this race, it is the hardest of all races and leads to needless deaths of horses every year, all in the name of SPORT

I'd be more looking at greyhound racing and the way they are treated to be honest - the greyhound reaches retirement so what do we do with it - some are rehomed now, but the majority - put down as they have served their purpose. Have you ridden a horse? Have you tried to make a horse do something it doesn't want to do? Have you seen the conditions horses are kept in? Are you vegetarian?

The horse carried on the race on its own.

The equivalent of 1 horse per Grand National per year has sadly died since 1997. Far too many still, yes - but far more die during the year during the normal racing calendar. These seem to be forgotten about by most people.

It's Grand National Day Saturday 4 April. Anyone having a bet, we are having a sweep tomorrow.

I won't because I do not agree with horse racing, especially the Grand National, I believe it is cruel to the horses. I appreciate that for a lot of people it is a yearly event where they enjoy a bit of a flutter.
