Whoever you've backed, best of luck folks. Above all, let's hope they all come back safe and sound. I'm sorry that the model reckons it's so wide open this year, especially on this ground. Seems that the market agrees, with 6 of those 12 with frame-making ratings (incl 3 of the 4 with winning-calibre ratings) in the top 9 in the market. I hope you've got on yours at decent prices. Many apologies if, despite the number of model's fancies, we come up short. Fingers crossed.
Fuck me, the first 7 yo winner for 82 years, 50/1. Winning final ride in the GN for Sam W-C. Another National fairytale but one that nobody (certainly not me) had picked out. Really thought Dylan was going to do it coming down to 2 out - ran a blinder despite fading to 7th. 3rd, 5th and 6th for my model's team. Not bad considering 3 departed very early. Will have a good look at a replay to seek out any bad luck stories. Another profitable year for me but I really hope everyone's that so kindly had faith in my model done likewise. Sorry to miss that winner - quite an outlier for the model.

I think, on reflection, I can see why there was an outlier given the way the race panned out. LOADS of fallers on the first circuit it seemed - maybe that plays into the race unfolding in a slightly less predictable manner. Also, it's horses and they're not machines!
Thought Freewheeling Dylan was absolutely tanking - until finding nothing from around the second last, when asked for a tad more. Ah well. Bit gutted as having a winner at 100s was looking in serious contention.
Your work is brilliant as ever PM and it's one of the best bits about CL for me. We move!
Thanks as always Peanuts, followed the race on my campervan radio in sunny Charmouth, old school I know, but was exciting as Delta work,freewheeling dylan, fidler and schoolboy had my £1 e/w.

Lost a shitload of money but not upset. What a story.

One of CL’s greatest threads.
Bob needs to go and stick another 50p in the meter I reckon.
Will come in handy as fly to Lanzarote tomorrow
