The English Grand Naƫional, the world’s greatest race, is also taking place this weekend. It is an equestrian event that piques the thoughts of non-hybrids all over the world ( in change generating a ridiculous amount of money ) on a level that would have eventing die-hards performing an enormous conga, naked, and completely calm. It’s of course not without its disagreement, but for those of you serious, you may find out more about the race around and check out how you can see, wherever you are in the world, here.
