British Horseracing Authority unhappy after being snubbed from GMB's Grand National debate

The British Horseracing Authority have hit out at ITV for leaving them out of a debate around protests scheduled to take place at the Grand National this weekend.

Protest group Animal Rising have called on the public to support their efforts to disrupt the showpiece event at Aintree this Saturday. They were featured on Tuesday's episode of Good Morning Britain, slamming the sport of horseracing.
