5.00 fairyhouse Irish grand national

Gone for Showurappreciation and The Jukebox Kid, hopefully one will get a decent run.

Lol. I've backed Better Days Ahead.

One Big Bang?

mines drifting like a barge, no chance

A stroll for Soldier In Milan after Townend jumped off Kiss Will after jumping the last. No contest.

Actually 2nd last imbecile

Team playing up their winnings in the last.

That race shows you how the game has totally gone. This yoke is in the same league as byrnes and Martin. 20 lengths on the bit in an unfathomable handicap. Wow. Any questions asked???

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion, well executed plan.

Winner look like Super horse

Will be interesting to see what he can do/does next. Grand National 2027?

was dire lto...ground officially soft but did looked desperate...improves a stone in one of Irelands premier h/caps today...wd Emmet.

A race like this is supposed to be competitive. The English version is no longer either. One of the key conditions has changed eg no more running in a qualifying race prior is necessary. Today the Grand National is merely a handicap for the above average or higher-rated horses. As such, the fun and result unpredictability have very much reduced.

Those that punt would be thankful for that
