Despite the glitz and glamour, it was those without tickets that stole the Grand National show
Aintree Racecourse on Grand National day has long been popular among those with a penchant for standing out.
The race eventually began 14 minutes after the planned start time of 5.15pm. Within moments, a horse fell at the first fence. Activists using ladders to climb into the grounds of the racecourse while at least two protesters fixed themselves to a jump using glue and lock-on devices, animal rights group Animal Rising said.
“This began earlier this morning, there’s been a number of protests outside and then that resulted earlier on today at about 5pm with numerous people trying to incur onto the course, which we, in partnership with the event organisers, and members of the public as well, have managed in the main to stop and and ultimately the event took place – albeit with a slight delay.”
“Innocent race horses’ lives taken from them in the name of entertainment and gambling. Aintree, the worst of all racecourses, is a disgrace and the Jockey Club and British racing should hang their heads in utter shame at what we have seen over the past three days.” “One death is too many. Animal welfare needs to be put before gambling profits and entertainment, and steps need to be taken to end this carnage which is occurring year after year.
