Default Crabbie's Grand National Chase

Anyone watch it?
99-1 shot Across the Bay leading with 4100 meters left gets taken out by a loose horse.
PINEAU DE RE takes it.
15 of 40 made it across the finish line

I had heard (cause I cannot watch it till after the fact) there were no fallers... is that right?

Hope everyone made it home okay... I thought they had.

To confirm there are no immediate concerns to report for either jockeys or horses following the 2014 Crabbie's Grand National

I counted 15 horses with jockeys aboard cross the line when they panned away. There were countless falls during the race. Zoe Cadman reported all horses and riders were ok.

Thanks for that. I am an idiot for actually believing no one fell but as long as everyone is good...

You made me laugh....again.
Enjoy the replay. I couldn't believe what I was watching when Across the Bay got taken out, just when I thought I'd seen it all in this game.

Stop judging me!

I just watched the replay and was a normal human being when it began. By the time it ended had crumpled myself up into half my size but hey... I now have the ability to see perfectly well with my eyes covered with both hands but looking out of the small crack between fingers.

Honestly I thought I was going to have a heart attack watching!

Replay for anyone so inclined...
