Hi Everyone,

I have finally worked out how to post (lol).

It had been the case for a while that the Grand National winner would be carrying a weight of within a few lbs of 11stone. But last year I Am Maximus carried 11st 6lbs. This made me think I needed to have a rethink on how I viewed the race.

I noticed that if you followed two fairly simple rules you would end up with the first 4 places in last year's National.

I Am Maximus 7/1 Favourite
Delta Work 28/1
Minella Indo 28/1
Galvin 40/1

Not only getting the winner excited me, but the places too. I thought surely half the Field must have qualified using these two rules/observations but to my surprise only a couple more did.

Saying all this, it might have been just been on a one off occasion. But just in case, I have already looked at the 2025 entries There are 17 qualiers at present, which is far too many. I do anticipate this will be reduced hopefully by at least half.

If you would like to know what these two rules/observations are, then please message me privately, rather than I make a complete fool of myself on here (lol).
