Grand National

[Jonccfc1927]

Hi guys,

I know nothing about horses, less about horse racing, from the little I have read the only nag with any Welsh connection tomorrow is Potters Corner, being 1/2 owned by Jonathan Davies, is this right and are there any other Welsh jockeys or horses,not worried about the odds, always like to back a horse with some sort of Welsh connection.

Thanks in advance

A mate of mine is a co-owner of Potters Corner. Me and a few of my ex-BT colleagues went for a drink before the pandemic hit and my mate told us to get on Potters Corner in the Welsh National. I forgot all about the race and he duly won at a decent price.

I've never met a gambler who's lost more than they've won in their betting career, and yet..

I think its just Potters Corner trained by Christian Williams.

Sadly Secret Reprieve who won this seasons Welsh National who would have had a big chance has failed to make the 40. Maybe it will bring it home to Wales in 2022.

Potters Corner not without a chance but would prefer softer ground.

I was thinking the same about Sports Personality, but she’s Irish isn’t she?

Wonderful first for a female jockey, glad the event now carries less risk to the welfare of the horses and jockeys.

Re: Grand National

Yes ! My first winner since Amberleigh House in 2004. I'd almost given up hope of picking another.

Rachael rode brilliantly at Cheltenham and now at Aintree. Agree with a previous poster who said she should win the overseas sports personality of the year award. At a canter

Re: Grand National

It's a great time to stop referring to her as a female jockey. She's a jockey and a bloody good one.
