Certainly, there are risks with any choice, but I regret that the &#8216;can-do&#8217; attitude did not prevail in this instance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This choice will also surprise many who comprehend the current challenging financial situation facing horse racing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the iGaming newsletter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grand National is set to take place on April 10th as originally planned, despite requests from the racing industry to reschedule the competition.
