At Cheltenham when Sam twistan Davies got interviewed and he announced the grand national was going to be his last race, I immediately looked up the horse he was going to ride thinking could it be a fairy tale ending, but the horse really put me off, haha how wrong was I, anyway cost me £200 for the cheek of it. On delta work I noticed he hit 2 fences and jockey nearly came off that caused him to play catch up and think it affected his final run in especially when he slightly hit the last fence it slowed him down and didn't have the pace to catch the other 2 or like others have said could've been the weight issue, but a least he got me a place and profit. Might have a flutter now next week on the profit I gained.
It’s news like that which makes me hate the race afterwards. But .. when the next year arrives, it’s the potential fatalities that are forgotten… until it happens again. Tragic news
