Anyone who thinks he can pick a winner on form in this race is out of their mind. It was a great race and thrilling to watch. Winning couldn't of happened to a nicer chap, Richard Guest, a master in the saddle. He is a joy to watch. The ground was awful, but congratulations to Aintree for going ahead.
Some horses love the mud and most out there seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.
There was nothing grand about this horse race. It was a travesty. Winning money on a National bet is unlikely at the best of times, but I can't be the only one feeling short-changed. The world's punters are entitled to expect a competitive race with more than 4 finishers for their money. John Thompson, UK A debasing spectacle for everyone concerned.
