Irish domination not a threat to Grand National’s iconic status – Aintree faces bigger challenge

The current balance of power in British and Irish jump racing reflects the dominance of a few powerhouse stables in the sport. This situation raises concerns about the impact on the wider interests of racing. While there is a legitimate debate to be had, it is important for the industry that the focus does not become solely on the Grand National.

This iconic event should not become a source of potentially divisive debate within the racing community. It is essential for the sport to consider the broader implications of the current power dynamics. Instead of focusing solely on individual races, a more holistic approach that serves the wider interests of racing should be encouraged.
