Gold Dancer died at Aintree on Friday. He was not the first. He will not be the last. The RSPCA confirmed he was the 42nd horse to die in UK racing in 2026. It is only April. Since the year 2000, 68 horses have died at Aintree alone. PETA responded by calling the Grand National Festival the Grand Massacre. Animal Aid said the words that landed hardest: Everyone who bought a ticket, placed a bet or watched the ITV coverage paid for this horse to die. The BHA pointed to a falling fatal injury rate of 0.22 percent in 2025. Animal welfare groups said that number still represents hundreds of horses dying every year for entertainment. Gold Dancer won £67,524. He was dead within minutes of crossing the line. The Grand National ran the following day.

I don’t get this. Can someone In the know tell me why the police don’t pull him? Baffled

Leeds is planning '20 minute neighbourhood' too & there are people already challenging What happened to provision of services needed? We don't need or want taxes on our movement Free our streets Take Back Democracy Together leeds.gov.uk/docs/Local Pl…

Well played @MorleyRugby and great to see @WaspsRugby 👍

One for @ShittyChallenge. The Zorki seems to feed the film diagonally now. Probably vodka related 😁

The Zorki gets on well with Fomapan and #caffenol 👍

Great day out at @MountOlivers 👍

#caffenol works 👍. Does FED-2 AND penny pinching processing count for @ShittyChallenge? Should really have used expired film to be really tight though.
