I've just seen this on another website. What a race.

Absolutely amazing.

It hurts me to watch the Grand National...
Those horses complete the word, athlete (even the DNF and "also rans").

[Greyfox]

Yes, an amazing race. But what also impresses me is the apparent tandem two (or maybe more) announcers who are remarkable about picking out whose fallen almost immediately and the order that they are running.
Some of our North American race callers can't keep 8 horses straight.

those loose horses didnt help matters
great job by all those who finished.

Have a question .. " Who is JOHN SMITH and why is his name on the
signs that say " Grand National ." Those horses are incredible and
so are the jockeys. Beyond belief.
Of course as you know ..the blokes from the Old Country are not my
favorite announcers .. but these guys broke the mold..How they could
possibly identify all of that insanity is Impossible . :bang: :cool:
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X < what the jockeys
see every few 100 yards or so.
