Despite all our arguing and opinions…
One thing we all have in common, is the love for these great animals

Grand National day.
For us that live and breathe horse racing, this day can be an emotional roller coaster. Excitement, nerves, elation, upset, frustration, relief.
In amongst all of it, don't forget one key truth. The annual naysayers will fire their shots at our sport in pursuit of cheap publicity again, but by tomorrow morning the vast majority of them will have moved on to something else until next year.
We'll still be here, caring for and loving our horses and our sport.
Take a breath. Direct them to the facts (https://t.co/DBpRsqNhtw). Don't let them wind you up.
We've got this.
