I personally don't believe trainers holding a pro license should run horses in the race let the ptp have their day its all a bit sad when the millionaire stewart family win the race which is not for them really.

that was one of the most truly bizarre winners I've ever seen, jockey just seemed to be trying not to fall off at the finish. I presumed the saddle must have slipped given the way she was hanging on to the horses neck!

Burning ambition seemed to hurt himself after jumping the second or third last.
Looked the winner but landed very hard on his front legs and seemed to almost stop. Lost ground very quickly after and was dismounted after the finish. Hope he,s ok. |

She dislocated her shoulder at one of the fences and managed to put it back in. Is on rp about it!.

bloob, the jockey was interviewed on RUK after race and she popped her right shoulder out raising the whip after the last.
She called it a half dislocation and was unable to pop it back in. Think she was too buzzing to feel any pain! |

Burning Ambition finished lame with a bit of heat stroke I believe

It was last night on the Racing Post website.
i'm just trying to understand what was so different last night, when presumably the paper edition had been printed, sent out and was exactly as the RP was on line today |

Yes, but ... From the owners' and trainers' point of view, yes, that's right. But what about the riders? Both Stewart and Nicholls separately made the point that they are giving new jockeys a chance. This was Harriet Tucker's second ride under rules. Last year, Bryony Frost's win on the same horse was literally life-changing and she is now a professional (conditional) jockey. Contrast that with some experienced amateurs who are almost professionals, like Codd to name but one, fishing around for the best rides, and being courted by trainers. So yes, you're right but that's not the whole picture. |

Balnaslow was well off the back after a circuit , but kept moving past the stragglers onto the back of a decreasing lead group.
Looked like it was a superb plan until tying up late on. |
