Tiger Roll makes repeat win look easy to join Grand National greatsNo sporting contest makes ‘what-might-have-been’ stories like the Grand National and there have been numerous horses who have tried to emulate Red Rum since 1974 Stop promoting animal abuse. Please do not promote the exploitation of these beautiful animals anymore. Horse racing IS NOT SPORT!!! I shouldn’t have to say this to the Guardian. Its was engineered magnificently the win but is overshadowed with the fact that 3 beautiful animals have died at this festival of racing. This is not acceptable.
