Big Bucks won his 15th straight jumps race last night at Cheltenham.
We seem to be blessed with some outstanding racehorses at the moment.
Also Pentific ran 3rd in a very good novice steeplechase after leading most of the way.
I like to see our horses run in Novices first up when they go over there, rather than trying to take on the open horses first up. |

No truth whatsoever in what @clarebalding1 has announced on BBC about Frankel. Lord Grimthorpe tells me situation is the same as yesterday.

I didn't see it, but The Grand National sounded a bit of carnage. Only 15 of 40 horses finished the race, two horses killed, including the favorite and the current Gold Cup winner Synchronised. Still a great race, but I cannot see them getting away with in the current format much longer. There is a talk of modifications to the most dangerous fence - Becher's Brook. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/14/synchronised-grand-national |

I think a lot of horse where pulled out of the race as soon as they where basically no chance. 15 of 40 looks bad, probably looks worse than it was.
I can not imagine being an owner and sending a horse around in that race. You simply know that a horse will perish, will it be yours ?

OK, Yep it was carnage.
It really is a shocker of a race.
Should it be called a race ?
