Ground was wrong for Miraculix probably wants soft somewhere in it and for some reason he was held up, should have been even pace but that happens occasionally.

Anyway think the winner may have been too good anyway

Yep - the winner was running strong right up to the winning post!

Fair play PJ. A 1-2 in that field is amazing!

All 3 of mine finished with Ukraine finishing a respectable 13th.

The commentary was fantastic NPG.

Only 1 week until the trials

Garrison Savannah ran a great race in 6th. Danehill Dancer unseated at bechers brook. He's a much better horse than Garrison Savannah. Think he would of gone close if he stood up.

Just home first thing i did was watch the race wow was so exciting absolutely delighted with the
run my two had they got into the race at the right time think i hit very lucky but very proud of the 2
it was the best moment i have had beats everything i achieved in the league in the past. congrats to
all the runners who made it around its not easy breeding a horse that can get round the grand national trip.
Again the comms were absolutely brilliant made it feel like the real
thing which is the biggest compliment i can give.

Thanks to all the team behind running the exhibitions they were great fun to be a part of.


Roll on the league

Thanks PJ that is a great compliment!
Maybe one day an Aussie will get a chance to call the English Grand National

Your horses in both exhibition chases have really known when to chime into the race.
Well done!

Well done PJ.

A Aussie used to call the Grand National Jim McGrath

Yes it does John, I had better find some older horses for league

Gray

Thanks for that - I had no idea!
I feel like I am following in good footsteps lol

I'll youtube some of his GN's to hear his craft!

Thank you!

I just watched the 93 GN - what a shambles!
Jim sounds like a good caller - very smooth - unlucky for him as Australia has always had very good callers - it's a hard market to crack!

Also Doug, there's usually more than one commentator for The Grand National, you did well to keep talking for 10 minutes


Matt

Hahahahaha yes I did notice that the other day when I did a little research about the race - rest assured for occupational health and safety reasons I had a glass of water at hand!
Thanks Matt
