The clown has done his best to destroy the Grand National, which is why we were presented with that bland spectacle yesterday.  I look forward to racing without whips.  Perhaps he will fck that up as well before we finally hear the last of him!

I think it's a legitimate point of view. As the horse was going clear it struck me he might not get home. And he didn't.

Listen Son take it from me.....That was a brilliant ride.

I think Blaklion made the choice not Fehily
Report BornToWin April 9, 2017 12:22 PM BST
It occurs to me that you don't take a pull after approx 3.7 miles, but I am no expert.

Did not look to be travelling too eagerly, just ran out of gas.

Exactly facts.....When a horse is running free and jumping for it's life you dont pull him back.
Report EastLower Gooner April 9, 2017 12:33 PM BST
Easy to blame Fehily in the immediate aftermath but watching several replays I doubt he would've won whatever his choice of tactics. One For Arthur was cutting through them like a rocket ship...incredible speed, headway and momentum to get to Blaklion...almost like cockney rebel in the guineas.

Good winner....maybe if fehily was more conservative he would've held 3rd from Saint Are and Davy Russell but that's about it.
Report timeless April 9, 2017 12:39 PM BST
if he'd sat still, and the horse made a mistake or for whatever reason was overtaken by others and then Fehily went after him, Fat Mac and the like would be crying out why he hadn't mad a move when the horse was going so well Crazy

hindsight is a great thing (nap)

I've been of the opinion all season the horse could do with some headgear and nothing I saw yesterday changed my opinion. Not saying he's ungenuine, just maybe becoming a bit of a thinker

Why isn't anyone making the point that the cretinous old git ought not to be part of any racing discussion, even one that is on Adverts Then Racing?  Useless, superannuated old git.  What he thinks ought not to be taken seriously imo.

I would value the opinion of Big Mac as much as that of Bigmart.

How can anyone be critical of any jockey having to jump those fences.Its a one off race you try to get round first and foremost then hope your horse will stay it really is that simple.
