Forgive me for pointing out that there are clear parallels between the Grand National and affordability checks. It’s all about control, or rather the lack of it.

The seven-year-old took the £75,000 Sussex Stayers Handicap Hurdle in dramatic circumstances in January. He nearly unseated his rider at the sixth flight and the jockey, Anderson, didn’t have to perform any heroics this time. The 100-30 favorite responded willingly, eventually stretching two and three-quarter lengths clear of his stablemate Broomfields Cave, who was making his seasonal reappearance. Trainer Mulholland […]

Last year, the horse was a solid performer and was favored to win the Scottish Grand National, although he finished in sixth place. However, he ran exceptionally well, finishing only 11 lengths behind the winner. Other winners have emerged from that race, including Kitty’s Light, who performed well in the Grand National. The horse recently made a strong return after […]
