you could have 30 horses ..60 even...targetted that lose though...targetting doesn't make a winner in a 40 race field...where you can lose at the first or second fence

to be fair some of those wouldn't have won a national anyway..MDB at that stage was shadow of his best

whatever the reason is..its very hard to win a national..its very hard to win with top weight..and so it should be..that is the test it is..its not impossible though to do it without altering ratings
