Grand National Fences To Be Made Safer. [02:11]
Fences at this year's Grand National are being made safer in the biggest change in the history of the race. They are among a number of measures aimed at dealing with accusations of animal cruelty after eight horses died in the last decade. Last year the joint favourite and Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Synchronised had to be put down after falling at fence six of the Grand National - the infamous Becher's Brook - and continuing riderless until suffering leg fractures. The death, along with that of outsider According to Pete, who was brought down at the same fence on the second circuit, led to calls from animal welfare groups for the Grand National to be banned. The new fences are still covered in spruce but wooden posts have been replaced by a softer material known as "plastic birch". Aintree racecourse manager Andrew Tulloch described the birch as "horse friendly", telling Sky News "safety at Aintree is always our top priority for riders and horses and it's something we do not stand still on". He said the changes should make the Grand National safer but not any easier, insisting the fences will remain the same height. "The outward appearance of these fences will remain the same. "The big change here is that traditionally where they had a timber frame to them that timber frame has been replaced by a plastic, more forgiving, birch and on top of that birch there's a minimum of fourteen, maybe even sixteen inches of spruce and the spruce is what the horses can knock off," he ...

Frankel::The World's Greatest Racehorse Returns [01:43]
I OWN NOTHING BUT THE EDITING. *EDIT* Simply superb. Frankel is magic. 10 from 10. Just the greatest. No flat horse has ever got me this excited. Can't wait to see where he goes next! In one week, the highest rated racehorse (or is he joint with BC? whatever, in my eyes Frankel is superior to Black Caviar, controversial I know-dont eat me!) in the world returns in the Lochinge Stakes at Newbury. I for one cannot wait and hopefully he will smash up his rivals once again. There's a couple if glitches in the video, SV wouldn't play it back properly but hopefully they're not too major. Does everyone else think Frankel will be better this season? Anyway, enjoy the video, it's nothing special but I couldn't resist making it as a tribute to the returning superstar ^^ (Now back to revising, exams start on tuesday!)
