THE RAINS CAME, THE GOING CHANGED , THE REALITY OF THE GROUND CHANGES EVERYTHING!!
WE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR GRAND NATIONAL BUILD- UP. THE GROUND IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN DECIDING THE WINNER. WE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE LOW WEIGHT HORSES HAVE VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE, IF THE GROUND IS GOOD OR BETTER. NOW, THE GOING LOOKS AS IF ITS GOING TO BE GOOD-SOFT IN PLACES.
STILL IT FAVOURS THE TOP HORSES BUT AT LEAST IT GIVES THE BOTTOM WEIGHT HORSES A CHANCE TO SHINE AND PERHAPS WIN. REMEMBER THAT THE HANDICAP IS SO CONTRACTED NOW THAT TOP TO BOTTOM THE DIFFERENCE IS JUST A STONE AND A HALF.
SO WHAT HAS BENEFITED FROM THE RECENT RAINS?
GIVE THE MARE A CHANCE: MS PARFOIS
GIVE THE MULLINS SECOND OF LAST YEAR A CHANCE: PLEASANT COMPANY
GIVE THE IRISH HORSES MORE RESPECT
JOE FARREL, RATHVINDEN, PAIROFHTEBROWNIES, MONBEG NOTORIOUS
