"Grand National"

Aye it's that time of the year when people who don't normally gamble place their pound on a horse with a comical name and dads everywhere sit in the front of the telly and shout "G'won son"

I'm betting on Bindaree, 11/1

There's a full list of the horses below:

Jurancon II fell at the fourth.

Bindaree fell at the fith.

It's a sad risk that all of the racers have to take. :(

Did they just said that all horses were fine? Or was that just for one jump?

Dammit, Clam Royal was soooooooo close.

It started running the wrong bloody way

Clan Royal ran like a spastic. All its legs went up in the air at the same time - it jumped rather than walked.

The poor beast was knackered.

Did anyone see (I think) smarty kicking seven shades of sh*t out of its owner before the race?
