Ted Walsh has spoken out on The Grand National's changes.
Former Irish jockey Ted Walsh has responded to the news that the Grand National has made changes to this year's race in an aim to make it a safer sport.
Kildare-based Walsh says the changes were bound to happen following the trajectory of the rules over the last number of years.“It’s only a continuation of what’s been happening in England for the last 20 years because the animal welfare groups and the anti’s to racing are just gathering more momentum,” he said.
