The race has certainly changed since the 1980's when I started watching it as a kid - the first race I clearly remember is Ben Nevis in 80 - that was a testing race - nowadays its just a gentle run of the mill race - there is just no comparison from the 80's and 90's to nowadays

The safety of horse should be paramount. It's still over 4 miles and 30 fences. So, it's not just a breeze, poor horses that have died over the years for entertainment shouldn't be seen as more entertaining.

I was following that white helmet with green jersey the whole second lap around he was just hanging back making sure he was on the inside and a relaxed horse just staying within 4 to 5 horses. And then he just said eat my dust. He was really holding that horse back for sure. That horse could have won another lap with ease💪💪💵💵🏆

There will be protesters every year, you will never appease these woke lunatics. In 10 years time, the race will have a maximum of 20 runners, it will be run over 3 miles, with only 12 fences, which will have been lowered further still, and the woke brigade will still be protesting. The Grand National is like teletext, and cassette tapes, it's a thing of the past.

Not sure how these can be called 'jumps' if a horse can charge through them and keep going. There's more equestrian skill on display at a local agricultural show.

@richardhenry8609 Ай бұрын

The lack of loose horses contributed greatly to the lack of chaos in the race, which isnt a bad thing. The sight of 20 odd horses packed together towards the end was weird but then isn't that the point of a handicap race? Lastly having the fences made of that spruce is now pointless if they disintegrate on contact. Its not the event of old but then boxing and f1 went through the same thing.

I remember the fear in jockeys faces and the daunting fences including the neck breaking drop on the landing side of bechers. Now an old carthorse cud jump it. Embarrassment to call this THE GREATEST STEEPLECHASE IN HISTORY.... sadly it WAS

Jumps made of candy floss, horses running through the fences this isn't the grand national I was brought up with, no excitement at all. Red rum must be turning in his Aintree grave

@Rudgers221 Ай бұрын

Why would you want horses to fall at the fences? It’s a testament to them and the jockeys for how many finished this year. Brilliant race.

I don't want horses to fall and die. You should be ashamed. Make the jumps as safe as possible

@lissyj294 Ай бұрын

You were also probably brought up being smacked by your parents and given the cane at school, but hey ho, times change don't they. If the excitement you crave is horses falling and breaking their necks, you want to give your head a wobble. This is the Grand National now, how about enjoying it instead of whining, you old grump 🦄

Everything about the race has changed except the name, so let's change that too. From now on it should be called The 4.00 at Aintree, because there's nothing Grand about it any more, and there's certainly nothing National about it either. The Grand National was a thing of the past, because it's gone now.

@martinmiller6984 Ай бұрын

Rip the grand national its just an ordinary race now that any horse can win where as before you had to be a special talented horse. The do gooders killed the national.Horse's break legs everyday on the flat and in fields it never was anything to do with the height of the fences the smaller the fence the faster they go speed kills not the height.

@livinaskipp8354 Ай бұрын

British horse racing is a joke and going down the pan. The Irish have all the best owners, horses and trainers and win all the races. The British prefer quantity over quality to keep the bookmakers happy.

Worst grand national in history, they might as well make it a flat race. rubbish, theyll be 5 runners in next years race & the fences will be 1 foot, massive let down
