@musclefeed1 @itvracing Literally everyone watching knew as soon as it happened. Plus he would have known something felt different with his horse no matter what he says. You can tell if a horse doesn't feel right when you are riding them.

@H40467 @itvracing He didn’t know … nobody did until the horse slowed down.

What's your immediate reaction after watching the Grand National? 👇

@ThomNolan @ElectraFloyd1 I stopped watching 17 years ago.

@H40467 @ElectraFloyd1 Just stop watching ffs.

Jockey who continued to ride a horse with a broken back to “victory” faces no consequences, no punishment whatsoever. What a surprise, said absolutely nobody.

There should be a private prosecution against the jockey involved @ZackPolanski @AnimalAid @peta @itvracing @a9d00c551ed0474 @racingblogger @H40467 @ChiswickW4etc @JasperManUtd @sean98923407 @RSPCA_official @PTownend @Dunibear @TheZombyPop @domdyer70 RT IF AGREE

@H40467 @itvracing Oh shut up

@siobhanbyrne32 @itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH Gladly

@H40467 @itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH Get fucked

It takes a team to win the Grand National 🏆 Congratulations to Willie Mullins, Paul Towend and Elliot Öhgren 👏 @PTownend | @WillieMullinsNH

@TheGob18 @itvracing Of course I would. If you are looking for a hypocrite you won't find one here.

@H40467 @itvracing H, we're do you stand on animal welfare? Would you ban halal slaughter ?

@TheGob18 @itvracing Lmao you're trying hard to impress him aren't you?

@H40467 @itvracing Wasn't he fantastic today he gave the winner a brilliant ride. Paul Townsend is the best jump jockey on earth 🌎

@a9d00c551ed0474 @BHAHorseracing Yep. They've proven exactly where they stand. Money over horses unfortunately.

@BHAHorseracing Don't ever ever ever preach horse welfare to us again.

@BHAHorseracing I don't care what stupid video clips you show us. You showed the real truth today. Allowing a jockey to get away with what he did and go on to race and win with no shame or remorse for the horse he killed and allowed to suffer yesterday.

@russianabout @BHAHorseracing Disgusting he was allowed to race today let alone win. Then he's boasting about it like he didn't just let an animal suffer yesterday. Obviously seems so upset about the horse he helped to kill.

@H40467 @BHAHorseracing They already have!

@TC_UTD @itvracing A certain kind of special for sure after what he did yesterday.

@itvracing Paul Townend is such a special jockey man, how he's finessed Maximus to win that the way he jumped and the weight carried is remarkable. To think some fans don't rate him... 😭

@JamesChuChan @itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH 🖕

@H40467 @itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH He didn’t beat a dead horse you clown

"He gallops to the end of the world for you." ❤️ "It's Grand Nationals and Gold Cups, they're the pinnacle... I've got them both" 😁 #ITVRacing | @PTownend | @WillieMullinsNH

@MasonChris75816 @itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH Seems so distraught about it doesn't he. I mean that's what all his fans were saying. That they bet he is absolutely distraught. Seems it 🙄 just wanted to move on to the next poor horse that would win him a race.

@itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH Townend the horse killer celebrates like some sort of hero. Pity about the horse he killed yesterday, total scum!

🏆 I Am Maximus REGAINS the Randox Grand National! 🏆 The first horse since Red Rum to do so! @PTownend | @WillieMullinsNH

@itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH How on earth can this man be seen as a 'hero' after what he did to that poor horse? Absolutely disgusting.

@itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH This is the jockey that raced the horse with a broken back? Absolutely no shame.

@IrishRacing7 @damienogfitz Sorry but you would definitely know if the horse you was on had tripped and hurt itself. He would have probably pulled up but he was in first position and didn't want to lose it.

@damienogfitz Seeing it in high definition on a TV, it was obvious something was wrong....sitting on top of it maybe wasn't so obvious

It's awful situation around Gold Dancer, but the gift that is twitter just keeps on giving....anyone thinking Townend rode the horse knowing it was injured, needs give their fuckin head a wobble. If he had of felt it go wrong, he'd have stopped immediately, there is zero doubt.
