It's the Aintree Festival this week, culminating with the Grand National on Saturday. I thought some of you may be interested in this; the Sporting Life's guide to all the entries that are still in the mix. The final field won't be known until later this week; there is always a few that opt not to run and this let's a few of those who are presently missing the cut to compete.
Grand National Runners: Pinstickers guide to Saturday’s big race and tips (sportinglife.com)
Plenty in here that are trained in our County (JonJo, Kim Bailey, Ben Pauling, Nigel T-D).
I last picked the winner back in 1986 (West Tip) so I would not put too much faith in my opinions! Recently I've had the absolute pleasure of spending some time listening to Polly Gundry, Alice Fox-Pitt and Emma Lavelle so we'll be keeping an interested eye on Santini (Polly), Snow Leopardess (bred and owned by Alice's family) , De Rasher Counter and Eclair Surf (from Emma's Yard). The law of averages says that after 36 years I must be edging closer to picking the winner!!!
