Grand National

[edgt]

135 in last year's NH Chase looks pretty sweet with hindsight. I remember his sire almost winning The Derby as a maiden at 66/1. Still not sure how Sir Percy got up.

Most likely because "The Dazzler " rode the runner up !
Added the Philip Robinson ridden Hala Bek thought he was a Carousel horse for a few strides near the post.
(Off topic but couldn't resist)

"Does no one ever think of the children?"

What are you on about, Ian?

"The children who shall inherit the Earth - and TH, of which we are but mere custodians."

They will read the archives, keen to learn from those who went before, and what will they find?"

"Lazily-labelled threads - 'Grand National?' Which year are they discussing?"

"Postings submitted without first being proof read - 'what are these overdoses they speak of'?"

I repeat, will no one think of the children??!!

The meek shall inherit the earth , or at least were meant to before "blonde ambition " took over .

The meek shall inherit the earth

That prophecy is, always has been, and always will be, a max lay.

Thanks Danny it only seems to appear for most recent posts and not earlier, so I've had to leave it

Irish Racing Post reported that Nick Rockett has had some niggles which have kept him from running, Mullins says Cheltenham Gold Cup looking unlikely at present. NR will need at least 1 run this season to be eligible for GN so I've cashed out for now.
