Bosses have also introduced a flurry of other changes, including whittling down the number of racers from 40 to 34, a standing start, a reduction in height to one of the fences, and additional foam and rubbed toe boards for every fence.Animal Rising co-found, Dan Kidby, is said to have sent an email to Jockey CLub chief executive Nevin Truesdale in which he says the group has no intention of disrupting the Grand National.
“This continues to be the case in spite of rule changes, which are nothing more than a PR exercise to try to win back public opinion.”
