i really ike horse races but steeple chases are just so... cruel. for both horses and riders. grand national is crazy- i don´t like it. didn´t believe it is this cruel before i saw this.
@Smallscousefox i know, i panicked when he didn't get up, but it was clear he was exhausted coming to the fence, i reckon he just had to rest his legs before getting up. he was absolutely fine though - he proved this a year later!
@liverpool5917 I do think that the National should now be "Ginger McCaine's Grand National, sponcored by John Smiths". at least for 2012, but preferably forever :)
My heart nearly stopped when Hedgehunter fell n didnt get up ;o( my money was on him ...n also the following year when he won ;o) bloody Clan Royal hampered my other horse Lord Atterbury on the run in ;o/ i was not a happy bunny lol

@liverpool5917 i also think a bronze statue of Ginger should be erected next to Red Rum.

Thumbs up for the Grand National being named after either Red Rum or Ginger? Or both
