Well done anyone who backed the winner. Not an obvious candidate in my book but there's no arguing with the form given the way the race panned out.
Too young for the National?

Winning trainer Nicky Henderson: "Barry [Geraghty] has been begging me to mind Triolo D'Alene all year for the Grand National...We've mucked that up completely, but a Hennessy is very special and we're delighted to take that home with us."

the winner is a completely different horse on decent ground
Was quickly back in contention, then appeared not to stay the trip, imo.

Terminal was the other horse hampered, he hurdled the stricken horse! Don't think it made much difference.
Boston Bob would have won the RSA
Thanks for clarifying both points :lol:

It was fun finding out! I was very disappointed how tamely he folded. He travelled and jumped sweetly up until the turn in.
Thought Lord Windermere was travelling nicely before the fall, and was unable to ever get back into a position from which he could win. Beaten too far to say it you could call him unlucky but I dont think he was murdered after it was clear he wasnt going to get them back. Wouldnt write him off yet.
Katenko was also going as good as anyone could hope when he fell.

LW could have done with a prep. Probably a 160 horse at best

I've said since March that last year's staying novices were no good.
Just watched the race for about the 10th time and I'm convinced Invictus blew up.
Had 3 small bets in the race.

It was a joy to watch Imperial Commander's jumping until he got tired at the cross fence . I was glad Brennan just pulled him up the moment he started to struggle rather than pushing him .
Winner was very impressive - some tool on good ground .
