At 6:30, the dreaded green tarpaulin covering a dead horse. Surely they had time to euthanise the horse and move the body off the track. You could tell it was in trouble after the fall, looked as if his leg was broken.
it was around this time the bbc went silly, they had perfect camera angles through the 80s and 90s so why change, the moving camera at f1 high angle shots, camera in jockeys helmut, who on earth wants to see some jockeys arse, the worst shot ever was the side angle at bechers later awful, thank god they lost the contract
Why when the back markers are obviously out of the race do the jockeys insist on pushing the horse on. why not pull up, the fences are too big for the capacity of the horses who trail. Plus there should be some sort of qualifying races before all these not very good horses take part.
I've just seen this race and your comments I suppose if you are a race goer or involved you never think pressure groups and media that make it happen .You make some very valid points . How are you bearing up are you managing to make a decision where to live?
What an incredible run by Kings Cherry... Obviously enjoys going around Aintree!
He ran a cracking race. Which genius decided he should be 100 to 1?
northern starlight was a pony but she had some serious springs! great jumper

I agree, a whole circuit to do whatever was required.
That McCoy was quite a good jockey, but he certainly new how to whip a horse 🐴 ouch
Am I the only one who hates the jockey head cam gimmick, it adds nothing to watching a race, in fact it detracts from it.

'bloodbath' One horse died. A bloodbath would be like, 8. Good race though.

You are stupid.
+Lionel Messi well it takes one to know one, and you obviously know nothing about horses. Or do tell me you are a qualified riding instructor?
