No Jilly it isnt.Sorry about the spelling.I am visually impaired and mist00k the e for an a.Lol!
Have to agree with Rory.They could have gone sooner.The heat didnt help situation and I’m sure some of the participants were very overheated
This has been the worst BBC coverage of racing I have ever seen.Today waqs slightly better but the last two days could have come from any couse anywhere,it so lacked atmosphere.<br>My biggest pet hate4 of their commentator is when he referes to the word position as "posi" grrrrrr
Lets not turn the memorail section into am advert for animal aid.None of us like seeing horses die racing,its tragic .Aintree have modifed the course and the RSPCA attend the National meetings so the welfare of the horses is taken into huge consideration.
yes it was very sad to hear that Lord Rodney had died.However these horses are not made to jump they do so of their own free will.Just look at the beginning of this race for instance when Always refused to race.If you dont like seeing it then dont watcfh.
Well done Kauto a true star.Good start of the day for me,the first two winners and then two seconds,yes I did think Exotic Dancer would win but I dont mind being wrong when its kauto Star who won,brilliant.

Enough said,I rest my case!
LGR. Thank you.
Griff.Not at all.I dont like being told "People like you" Jilly knows absolutely nothing about me andf the fact is that person was rude in their comments.
Quote: from madman marz on 8:39 pm on Feb. 15, 2007[br]While I agree the horse should have been retired, VO’s death was just unfortunate. I dont break out in a rash and be put on an emergency ventilator machine after a panic attack, when I hear the news of the death of a racehorse, unlike some posters on this thread.<br>Racehorses are probably better treated than most family pets, and a lot better treated than millions of human beings around the world living in shanty town slums begging for money dressed in rags, with no shoes I could go on and on.
A lot of threads on this topic suggested that VO was’nt enjoying racing anymore, "spare me" who said racehorses enjoy racing. I wouldnt say they fancy a three mile slog around towcester and get 6 or 7 smacks on the backside for good measure if he/she’s in with the remotest chance of winning. Racehorses are broken in as yearlings to curb their natural wild instincts to become submissive to us humans, they race because we conditioned them too. Believe me they dont bloody well enjoy it.<br>If some of you posters are so sympathetic towards animals, why not campaign to stop real cruelty to animals which is endemic in darkest Asia, like when live cats are dipped into vats of boiling water to burn the fur off them, to say it made me cringe is an understatement.<br>My post might have been a little off the rails, but some people need a reality check <br>[/quote
People like me? I would rather be compassionate where the welfare of racehorses are concerned than have no heart.I may not agree with what some people post on here but I dont attack their point of view.<br> It isnt the fact that Venn Ottery died,it happens,it’s that it could have been avided.
Well said Dave 22 and Stormont.I dont believe Jilly is a female as women would have more compassion to this poor horse and a heart.No need for rude comments here.
Couldnt agree more.He is never going to win another race,he deserves no less.he needs an owner like Ashley brook who retires all her horses to home and gives them a fantastic after racing life.

Congratulations to BOS,all credit to him but The Listener had no more to give.A fantastic effort but he wont do so well if he runs at Cheltenham.
Well done Agnes and Bah Humbug to you two miseries.Great TV, and why I love jump racing so much.
