Don't think so a few falls but everything got up and joined in with no rider as far as I could see. A few jockeys hit the eject button though! Nothing was said about any horses having fatal injuries.

Heh. I bet on the grand national - first time I've ever bet on a race horse (or anything other than national lottery). Something I had on my 'things to do before I die' list lol.

Silly thing never jumped the 20th fence. Oh well. Joes Edge is a beautiful horse though!

Nah, he got a lot further than that. Point Barrow fell at the first but Joes Edge ran for a long way with the equivalent of a "Dead Leg" after a kick from another horse.

Ballycassidy and Bewleys Berry were both going well when coming to grief late on and you were a bit unlucky if you had those.

My horse was second, my Wife's came 1st, so the chorus of "Broken Doon Bookie" echoed throughout the house.
