Buywise @50/1 is another I'm having a couple of quid each way on
How many boxers have died because of their sport? How many wrestlers? The list could go on. Oh, and don't say "They have a choice." Why do you think a horse will refuse a jump? Because it thinks "Fuck it. I can't be arsed!" And why do you think a horse will finish a race? Because it fuckin' LOVES it!
Are you saying boxers and horses have the same level of intelligence?
Hope soBetween both of ye ye will surely have the winner
They all have more intelligence than Houchens Head
Yep good luck and hope they all get round safeThe trainer of the horse I've backed was just on channel 4 saying he has no confidence in his horse at all

Katie Walsh and Nina Carberry I believe.Changing the conversation a bit ... Are there any female jockey's in the Grand National? They would weigh less so seems like it would be an advantage.
Here is the list of horses killed running the Grand National race.

The fact is that no horse chooses to be a racehorse. No-on whispers in their ear the question and gets a neigh in reply. They are bred and raised to do it from birth. You could probably take a human baby and do the same thing, brain-wash it to run and jump without question.
For one very good reason - money. It should be banned but Cheltenham is even worse.
The national is a disgrace as it allows far too many horses in the actual race many of which are totally ill equipped. It's far too long and many get withdrawn during the race and are shot afterwards.
The notion they are treated like kings during their career is crap as well. Most are destroyed or abandoned and all are condemned to 22 hours a day in a box rather than their natural environment.
It's a brutal brutal industry and the notion that owners and jockeys care about the horses is bollocks. They are generally a very unpleasant bunch.

Just looked it up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_Grand_National_jockeys
The shooting of horses is a tactic used by trainers to warn the other horses to run and jump faster, Nicky Henderson is a well known user of this tactic, marching a horse from its stable and "introducing a shotgun" to the horse infront of all the other horses as a warning.
Its a very effective technique similar to a new manager starting at a football club and droping an underperforming player to stamp his authority on the group but you dont get an uproar about that do you?
I've seen pictures of women with weights added to their saddle bagseach horse carries a certain weight due to historic performances.
So, if a female jockey (or lighter male jockey) is on board and the horse has been deemed to "carry 11 stone" weights would be added to the females jockeys saddle pack to bring the weight up.

So what, they are only horses. Only 1 jockey has ever died, more die playing football.
That is because of pack instinct and the fact they are a prey animal and not a predator.
It shows you have no understanding of their nature at all. Try sticking those horses in a field they will not be jumping fences.
