      And? Different horses react differently to stress and overstimulation. It overrode that particular horse’s herd instinct.
      Sort of like how that one horse jumped a fence to race after bikers in a marathon. It didn’t jump over fences normally, but it did in that instance. That particular horse’s herd instinct gave it a reason to jump over the fence while other horses might’ve gotten scared and ran away instead.
      So yeah, different horses react differently.
      Generally speaking, though, most horses who were _already_ running in the race would continue running after losing their rider. I’ve even seen horses with serious, death-sentence injuries try to continue running. It’s heartbreaking.

      Horses can’t hold grudges, they don’t have the brain capacity for that. They can fear someone or have reactions to things they had bad experiences with, yes, but they don’t hold grudges.
      Most animals can read the emotions of other animals to some extent but they still have instincts that can be hard for them to ignore. Doing math doesn’t change anything about that either.

      "Horses love racing" is BS. Many horses love to RUN, but horses have no concept of RACING or of coming in at one position or another. Equally, many horses HATE to run and are TERRIFIED of being forced together. Making generalizations about what some other being loves or hates is foolish.

I’ve said it before, the horses will GO ROUND the jump if they can, they don’t enjoy jumping the fences at all. They follow the other horses because they’re pack animals and it’s instinct. That DOES NOT mean they enjoy what they are doing.

    The National Field heading to Bechers Brook on the first circuit used to be one of the most exciting moments in all of sports period. They have now turned Bechers into little more than a Brush Hurdle. The Ditchs at Cheltenham, Newbury & Kempton are more challenging now than the Chair Fence. The remaining unique part of the course is the Canal Turn because of the 90 degree angle.

      The rate of horses dying has increased since they lowered the height of jumps. Now they're running faster and are more bunched up. So it's actually more dangerous now. You can look it up and see that the percentage of horses dying per starting horses has increased significantly since 1989, when they first started lowering fences and evening out ditches. Search for "List of equine fatalities in Grand National".

      Beverly, it looks to me like there are more loose horses causing problems since they started lowering fences and evening out ditches. Everyone's more bunched up and the loose horses keep running longer. Maybe the higher fences in the past discouraged horses from continuing? Not sure but I've been watching lots of races lately and the loose horses weren't as much as a problem in the past.

    Congrats to the connections. nice to see unsung heroes have their day and no injuries. However, I am still old school and prefer loose horses and the old fences as I dont want to see horses breasting the fences 3ft down as the winner did at the 13th. As we are hell bent on keeping as many horses running as possible may go some way to explain pile ups at the Canal Turn. Dont really give two hoots for the anti GN group.

      Ísis R. It is pretty hilarious to see all those horses in a huge cluster, most of them losing their riders or being pulled up. I counted 15 horses at the end crossing the line. 40 started the race. So almost two thirds of the horses didn't even finish the race, lmfao!!!

      +Ísis R. Yes I know that is not a race it is a massacre, every jump a horse goes down, that's when you know there's a problem. This is one equine sport that probably has more causalities then any other equine sport. I always liked steeple chase and horse racing but when things go wrong to manyy times theres a problem.

    Across The Bay is one of the unluckiest horses in recent times. He lost about 40 to 50 lengths when the loose horse ran him out to the outside rail. By the time he got going again, he was last. He eventually finished in about 12th place, maybe 40 to 50 lengths behind the winner ....... do the maths on that one!

    SOLL looks to have a great chance having seemingly improved for the move to David Pipe and Tom Scu rides, fair value at 20/1. Saint Are has come right back to form and has some very solid form over these fences, value at 33/1 and finally Raz De Maree which finished a well beaten 8th last year but could go close if getting a run.
    Is No 43 at the moment so not guaranteed to get in but value at 50/1 after running very well in the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter last time up
    My five for the combination tricast are:
    SOLL, SAINT ARE, RAZ DE MAREE, CHANCE DU ROY and BALTHAZAR KING
    Good luck to all who are having a punt
