Great for all the Liverpudlians to have a home English winner.
Walsh can’t give up the rail there when he took it up.

That’s one in the eye for the horsey set on here @Cheasty and @Thomas_Brady picking the winner.

I might take up punting professionally
You’re showing a lot of potential. Picking a 50/1 shot winner from a field of 40 takes a lot of punting skill.
5c bet I’d say
When I look through the Grand National field one of the key things I look for is the name of the horse and how it pertains to real world events or coincidences.
This goes back to me backing Party Politics in 1992 five days before the UK General Election and Ballabriggs winning in 2011 - which I had backed purely because I had been in Balbriggan the previous day.
When I saw “Noble Yeats” I immediately thought of poor Red Óg Murphy of Sligo. When I heard Sam Waley Cohen was riding his last ever race, my mind was made up.
Noble Yeats is one of the great Grand National winning horse names, up there with Highland Wedding and E.S.B. and the aforementioned Party Politics.

Nice little bit of place money there. Cheers.

I see that winning jockey in the Grand National yesterday was an amateur, who saddles the odd horse in his spare time as a hobby. A dental tycoon in the day job. That’s a right one in the eye for all the jockeys masquerading as ‘professionals’.

The only sport where men, women, amateurs and professionals can all compete against each other. Surely a beacon in the modern clamour for equality.
