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?

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.

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.

Good luck. At least you won't have to worry about losing your money if any of those horses dies a horrible death on the course. 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.

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!
