Grand National Result

The big race has been run and it's a case of close but no cigar. My 5 short-listed (see post below) all finished, so that's something.
  • Niche Market 5th
  • Midnight Club 6th
  • Big Fella Thanks 7th
  • Backstage 10th
  • Silver by Nature 12th
Unfortunately I didn't bet with VC so only got 5 places. Had I got the same prices with 6 places I'd have made a small (read 'tiny') profit instead of a small loss. I couldn't have has the first 2 home because while they hit most of the race trends they didn't have the form in class 1 races. The winner had been running in class 2 chases and novice hurdles. The runner-up had been beaten by other horses in the race when he ventured into class 1 races (notably The Midnight Club and Bluesea Cracker). It seems the better ground allowed him to reverse the form with those horses.

Well done to all who backed the winner.
