GRAND NATIONAL

[Aykay1]

Comments please......... Thank you to the RFO and a certain poster on EBA for providing these stats... Only Papillon and Red Marauder carried more than 10st 8lb's to victory in the last 10 years. Red Marauder can be considered a fluke winner. Anything that has run before omit. 91 have tried with only 3 placings and 1 win between them. The win was the aforementioned Red Marauder. No Novices have won since 1958. 88 years since a 6 year old won it. 63 years since a 7 year old won it. Best to ignore anything over 10 years old. Red Marauder is the only runner older than 10 to make the first 2 in the last 8 renewals. EVERY winner since 1970 has winning form over a minimum of 3 miles. Cheltenham winners dont win. The last 19 winners ran within 42 days for fitness purposes. 12 of the last 13 winners ran off a mark of at least 137 in a handicap during that season. I'll post my shortlist and thoughts later. Cheers
