| boobear Fucknugget ![]() London, United Kingdom | #1 Who's put a bet on? I put a £1 each on Shakalakaboombom 12/1, Seabass 10/1, Deep Purple 80/1 and Alfa Beat 50/1. Put £2 on Cappa Bleu 16/1 What about you? | |||||||

sister_of_mercy![]() London, United Kingdom | #2 I hate the way horse racing treats the horses so will not be betting. I know they try and limit the cruelty and it's supposed to be a bit of fun, but I can't agree with it- at least two horses were shot at last year's Grand National. | |||||||

I agree with you, also the treatment of many retired animals once their racing career is over. | ||||||

sister_of_mercy![]() London, United Kingdom | #4 @Silly_Me Said ![]() I agree with you, also the treatment of many retired animals once their racing career is over. Yeah they do seem to have a hard life. I know that there are some charities that put retired horses in sanctuaries to look after them though at least. It's the same with the dogs, apparently it's hard to get them homed after they've retired from racing. | ||||||

Great sport, isn't it? | ||||||

Ok, I take your point however, if you want to make a separate thread on the treatment of horses please do. But please don't derail my thread. | ||||||

| jmo Beruset af Julebryg ![]() The United Kingdom of Great Br | #12 I had some money on Deep Purple, lost everything. First time in four years I've not at least won something on the National. For us though we were in the pub after the football and they put it on about ten minutes before it was due to start so we ran across the road to the bookies to put on some frantic quick bets. None of us won. Amusingly the horse my two mates had money on died! | ||||||
