25(19)-9(7)-6(5)-1(1)-2(1) $1,431,400 - 15 out of our 25 runners today finished either 1st or 2nd, including finishing 1-2 in two G1 races.
Ever since I have started following English racing in the mid-70’s, I have loved watching the Grand National. When I started in FF, this was one of my really-want-to-win races, and, after managing only a 3rd out of our 7 previous runners in this race, our two runners today finished 1-2.
