Yet another horse - Battlefront - died of a heart attack at Aintree today. He is the 23rd horse to die on the Grand National course since 2000. Despite what the industry may try to claim, horse racing is far from benign: 420 horses are raced to death each year, and financial interests override welfare.
Betting on the Grand National or any other race directly supports thus cruelty, as does attending race meetings.
