Shorter race, but more stamina needed to win it.

I doubt specialist 2m4f Chaser Gay Trip could have won a modern Grand National.

In his day, they hunted round the first circuit and only raced the second - if you settled, you could be an intermediate trip chaser and get home.

Now they race both circuits, any 2m4f chaser would be done by Valentines second time round, or maybe even by second Becher's.
