when I heard the commentators say that they were missing the canal turn out my heart sank, when you see the screens come out it's 99% certain to be bad news. Fantastic that the horse has pulled through, a super horse too, a true stayer

Yes brilliant news if he's OK.
"Better news was to come, when officials reported that Balthazar King had finally been persuaded to stand. He was treated on the track for at least an hour before being taken to a nearby equine hospital for further treatment. It appears likely that he has suffered broken ribs and it is not yet certain that he will survive but it appears there is reason for hope". Sounds like it was the collision with Ballycasey that did the damage? |

Yes brilliant news he is ok you don't mind a losing bet when they get up ok from what looked an horrendous situation. I am going to have to rethink my grand national strategy as 2 years running I have had a maximum each way bet early at 20/1 thinking they were ok for a place at least I.e T43 and BK and both fell early!! However may have been unlucky this year looking at placing of Alvarado and monbeg dude as I am sure Bk would have been in front of them but then again jumping is the game. A big thank you to many clouds for getting some money back for me - what a horse

He needs Many Clouds to run, if he has any chance of winning, because horses carrying big weights, don't win the National and the only exception to this in the last 50 years is Red Rum I just love those trends.  |
