    Back in 2019 there was a similar scenario. After the Jockey was injured at Bechers on first circuit in 2018, Bechers was waved off on the second circuit. In 2019 the fences were much flimsier, they were kicked apart and Horses only fell and unseated at 3 Fences 1, 19 and 27. Last year the Animal righters invaded the course and there were a lot of fallers at the Early Fences. It is obvious this Years fences, as in 2019 were very Flimsy and the Horses just kicked them apart. As in 2019 only 3 fences Claimed unseated riders, fence 1, fence 15 the chair ( 2 went) and fence 27. The fences were more robust in 2021, 22, and 23 and were proper nationals. This Time alas Its doubtful they will make them better constructed ever again. And with the smaller fields its gonna be an ordinary race Just fences that are flimsy and safe. Bechers brook in particular is a travesty, the most iconic and testing fence , is now as Safe as a Hurdle. They obviously modified it further for 2019 . There were no Fallers at Bechers brook in the last 5 Nationals, in fact only Two unseated in the foxhunters one in 2019 and one in 2023, no others. The Officials have turned their back on Racing Fans and pandered to the Antis......😡😞

      @alisonlee3314 yes it was very muted, the fact there were only 32 runners definately made it safer aswell. With only a maximum 34 runners, they need to bring back reserves again, or there's a risk the Field could get even Smaller if Several take out their Horses at the last Minute .

      I agree, the Grand national as we knew it died after the 2012 edition with the softer core fences being introduced in 2013. We had long since gone from the dark days of DARK IVY in 1987 and ALVERTON in 1979 and let`s not forget this year`s was run on soft ground and look how many horses were left in with a chance of winning two out, whereas in the past on soft ground the field would have been far more strung out, it is now just a glorified flat race from the last two fences.

    1st 4 places 155 to 159 ORD bottom weight 146. In 5 yrs there will less than15lbs between top and bottom weight. No not for me, it will become a benefit race for the Irish and owners who can' t compete with the Arabs & Coolmore on flat so would rather become big fish in a smaller pond.
    Remedy owners and trainers only two runners, then more competion and a proper hamdicap.

The jumps yesterday were fine. It was certainly a different style of grand national but you are lying if you are saying it wasn’t exciting. Stop with the “woke”blaming nonsense.

Comedy shows on UA-cam are now completely ruined by words being constantly censored. Rugby is now tick rugby. Any accidental soft contact with the shoulder or head and the player is red carded and banned from playing future games. In Rugby League that’s his income for Gods sake!
