Animal charity wants a safer Grand National horse race

This year, two horses died after falling at fences and the charity think that isn't fair. 10 horses have died in the race in the last 12 years and the RSPCA say that needs to change. For this reason the animal charity, wants organisers of the Grand National to make the race safer for horses.

I'm sure you know that the Grand National is famous around the world and is known for being really tough for horses and jockeys. The course is very tough as it's a massive four miles and involves jumping 30 really hard fences.
The finish was so close a photo was needed to decide who won!
