Might be more fun if they ran the Grand National without the horses.

Horses are bred to run, to jump I'm not so sure otherwise the countryside would be full of escaped horses?

Lovely to see horses running free along a beach or across the Moors.

Grand National should be run without riders!

Do you mean just the Grand National?

[CLKD]

Yes.  I HATE the Grand National because so many horses are damaged etc..  So those horses that are bred to run should go round on their own, interesting to see how many would stop and eat the first fence  - or graze the grass infront of it.  Flat racing is better ........... because horses love to run.  Bit like dogs who will race around.  Jumping is something that horses would do in order to escape predators. I would also ban the carrying of whips. 

I missed the boat race  but can't see where it was shown .........

[Cazikins]

Just as well you're not in charge then CLKD because you would stop a lot of people enjoying themselves.

Especially the Irish ......... interesting that not many articles in the media about the C-19 effects at Cheltenham ?

I think watching the horses making their own decisions would make good betting odds

What do you mean by that CLKD 

[CLKD]

Which - the Irish - the Country that loves horse racing more than any other ?  that breeds some of the finest blood stock ? that know how to Party 

Or C-19 effects of the Cheltenham Meeting?  Apparently many were affected but it was not headline news. 

[Cazikins]

Cheltenham - probably didn't make the headlines because there last meeting was the 27th March & things had just kicked off.
English people also love horse racing (& know how to party).

It was discussed long and hard about cancelling Cheltenham but as one bookie said to me, "It will be a brave Man who stops 100,000 Irish men arriving"  . 

When I went to watch racing over hurdles many years ago I was surprised at how small the horses were !  Sadly 1 didn't get up after a fall so the jockey had to walk back with saddle and bridle 

[Cazikins]

How do you know a bookie CLKD - are you a secret gambler?
So you have seen a hurdle race then - have you seen a steeplechase? they're even bigger fences you know.

As if it wasn't enough that there are endless ancient repeats on TV, now we have to suffer football too 
Current affairs is awful too, 10 days of wall-to-wall Dominic Cummins when everyone was sick of it after 2 days, now probably a month of racism.
