Grand National

Today this happened:

The Grand National, which is:
The most valuable horse race in the world.
The biggest betting race in the world.
The race with the most annual horse fatalities in the world, and as a result...
A big source of glue.

This year 30-40 horses started and 5 finished. Only one was shot -- the rest were disqualified because they couldn't jump over one of the massive hurdles or because the rider fell off.
