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!!

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?
