Another horse dies at Aintree. It really is disgusting the way we treat animals.

Every time a horse dies at Aintree you hear the same old thing- it could have happened anywhere.

The (not) funny thing is that it happens with dreadful regularity at this course.

I don't like the slippery slope of prescribing what people can and can't do, but animals don't have a proper choice and in it's present form that course is deadly, pure and simple.

Do you close it, shorten it, make it far less demanding on the animals?

I don't know, and the die hards (unfortunate term) will come out with terms like the ultimate test and so on.

In the end money talks and it stinks.
