2024 Grand National

…..I’m waiting for Dandrew99 to put up a case for his beloved Landrake tomorrow.

I’m wanting to see a big drift and then I might be mad enough to have a little interest regardless. New trainer and horses who ran over fences earlier in the season have a decent record in the race :glee:

Didn't even notice he was running :highly_amused::highly_amused:

Definitely wins though.

I'm slowly coming around to Corach Rambler winning again

He's just the best horse in the race

And turned it into a procession last year

Runs off the same mark tiger did when winning his 2nd and his gold cup 3rd suggests hes as good if not better than tiger

Think I'm going to make my main winner
 
Currently raining in Chester, anyone at or nearer the course to say if it is there?

Delta could do with it I think!

Suspect as with James de Berlais yesterday, would be caught on the line by something carrying a stone or more less.

….overcast and a little bit of rain but not lots so far. Not raining at this moment.

I agree he's arguably the best horse in the race, but that weight after a fair effort in a GC will make it hard. If he wins he'll surpass Tiger imo
 
Top4 spots filled by proper graded horses, fair performance from the winner well done to anyone who backed
 
If you'd have told me a couple of years ago old shopping trolley wheels would be an Irish and Grand National winner... some horse, brilliantly amusing and impressive career trajectory.

Ahh Delta paid for my next holiday but very good winner in the end, should have held onto a bit to help the repeat!

Onto Found a Fifty next!
 
Those fences seemed unbelievable small to me, not moaning, but there's no surprise there were so many in with chances there...
 
And there being no cross country this year, meant Delta Work, Minella Indo and Galvin, arrived here fresh.

In my opinion it made for a better spectacle. I usually watch the race but don't enjoy it but this year was an entertaining watch for me.

Yeah, another kick in the nuts for Henderson.
Think I described him having legs made of tights, with snooker balls in the end.

Yep,not the race it was. The classy horses have a massive advantage now. Messed with it too much.

Great for fav backers .

Definitely, was a great watch

Any of ten had a chance

had to chuckle when Corach came down at the first, just one of those weeks for me

Everything that could've gone wrong did, bit like royal ascot last year
