Anyone backing Captain Cody  😀

Just seen him on the tv doing an early run. Dancing around to no real effect and going sideways more than forwards. Now watch the sod win....

Given my user name in here, I had to drop a few quid on Mr Vango

A win for the everyman, the little guy, as usual! It’s miraculous how the biggest owner and trainer with a huge proportion of the runners have managed to dominate the placings.

 

’The people’s race’ 😂

2nd and 3rd . Iroko would have netted me £122

Completely agree. Making the race safer by making the obstacles smaller and reducing the distance by 1/4 mile means higher quality horses are entered. So the big yards/owners will dominate.

 

As for the fences being made easier (height and stiffness), I Am Maximus would not have won the national if the changes hadn't been made.

 

Its a glorified hurdle race in most parts.
