#aintree — Public Fediverse posts

Monitoring the real-time maps of buses, railways and air traffic at #Aintree, #Liverpool for the #GrandNational event. 🚌🚄🚁📡🗺️🐎🏁

I wouldn't dream posting a #DailyMail article, but it's surprisingly the one with the most spot on #headline on the #Aintree #grandnational #horseracing death. All other media are shocking, moving on to tits & champagne. It's disingenuous the #RSPCA still "engage with the industry", as if there was anything that could be changed to improve a kind of race that is fundamentally designed to bring about the death of #horses.

@paulste I'd forgotten about Horse Death Watch, thank you for the reminder. Aside from #GrandNational and #Aintree deaths, there have been 2,773 horse racing fatalities in the UK since March 2007 when Horse Death Watch was founded. 15 deaths last month.

And it's not 'tragic', like it's just some terrible unforeseeable accident. It's a known problem that horses will die at #Aintree. A 'racing certainty', even. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/breaking-grand-national-death-giovinco-32573705

Oh here we go. First horse fatality at Aintree already. Poor Giovinco.
Just remember, don't watch or bet on the

Your annual reminder, if you're in the UK, not to watch the Grand National horse race, not to bet on it, not to take part in an office sweepstake as "a bit of fun". It's cruel. 4 horses died during the Aintree meet last year, and 4 the year before.
