The aftermath of Saturday's National brought home the sad reality of national hunt horse racing when millions of television viewers around the world saw the prone bodies of two horses so tragically killed during the race... looking on the bright side, neither of them were my selection. Almost AS tragic though was that Skippers Brig trailed in a sorry 9th. There were times on the second circuit when I could have ran faster. Still, there's always next year... and again, it was very sad to lose two horses... I forget their names. Dobin and Hi Ho Silver, or summat!!
