    Neither Nicky Henderson nor Paul Nicholls have trained a GN winner, quite an amazing fact.

    Henderson and Barry Geraghaty won 1st three races today, they team up on Shackalackaboomboom in the big one.

    Had 2 quid on Neptune Collonges at 45/1 after seeing some people tip it to do well, so very pleased. If it was a few days earlier I could have afforded to go to Carlisle!

    Now being reported that Synchronised and According to Pete have died. Very sad and definitely takes away a lot of the excitement of the race.

    Thanks AA and well done on CB - a fine run. Will digest the result tomorrow but, despite the elation of promotion (well done lads!), the loss of those 2 horses is just desperately sad.
