My Nan introduced me to the vices of betting on horses.
I won the family sweepstake on Mr What( my Nan gave me the tip) and i was hooked.
Since then however i've never had a horse in the top 4.
Google Mr What and you'll see i'm "celebrating'' a sort of milestone this year!!
Thanks Nan!! :roll:

I don't think I am going to bet on a horse race again.
So sad one of the horses died
so that is it for me
I used to hate wielding a crop!...don't mind now but not for the horses!

Heard today that there was 2 fatals, :(
Never really liked the national, but think they should lower the jumps again, as jumping at the speed the horses run at is a very high risk of being hurt.

anyway gonna stick to my dressage, its slow and not dangerous :)

Yes apparently, two horses also had to be given oxygen, how sad is that?
