    I always thought Many Clouds looks a very similar shaped horse to Ballabriggs. Both proper Grand National horses.

    What a race and brilliant winner carrying 11'9. Some jockey two years in a row he should retire after the race not McCoy ha!

    The young lad was screaming for nearly all the race, the only think I heard was Balthazar King (the horse I backed) brought down Ballycasey (the horse I had in the sweep).
