Jesus that's one of the best performances ever to win a Grand National off 11-9.

Ah he's up now so let the profanities be loud and clear.

Mulreanan places his horse again

Nulty

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!

I'll be reassessing my outlook next year on the type of horse ill be picking for a grand national.

Thats 3 times in the last 10 years Trevor Hemmings has won the national greedy bugger:pac:

Shemale

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).

They are saying that he is up but still being assessed.

Seems a bit mad, but they are paying 5 places....

Woohoo! Win and a place!

Balthazar King is still being assessed on the course... I thought he was up

Delta2113

I had €5 on Shut The Front Door to win with paddy power. I got nothing. Are they not paying out on 5 places or do I just not understand how this works?

Your bet was to win so it's a loser. If you did an each way bet you would have got something back.

The 5 places only applies to each way bets

Unfortunately, you would have had to put the bet on Each Way to get any money back €5 ew would have cost you €10
It would only have returned €12.50 at the starting price of 6/1

Balthazar King has been moved from the course to the stable. No definitive news on him just yet, but he is on his feet apparently. He remains under assessment. Fingers crossed everything will be OK.

Hobbs says that he understood that horse may have broken ribs. been removed to local vet hospital

Anyone know were I get the official winning time ?
Tried PP and Sportinglife no joy.. yet anyway

andyman

Broken ribs apparently..

PressRun

Yes, broken ribs seems to be the word on Balthazar King. It was a horrific fall. Hopefully he will make a full recovery.

Nulty

I think it was Balleycasey running into the horse that broke its ribs rather than the fall. Balleycasey smashed into him.

murphyebass

Are paddy power paying out on top 5 horses? I had shut the front door each way.

PressRun

Yes, it was a fall and then a collision. Very scary nonetheless. Aintree are very lucky that they can say all 39 are still on their feet.

I think it depends on when you actually had the bet. If you only had it today, they mightn't.

PressRun

Further news on Balthazar King is suggesting he is also concussed. However, he was able to walk onto the horse box. Hoping for no lung damage if it is broken ribs.

Jockey Davy Condon has also been brought to hospital but is conscious after his fall from Portrait King.

Did the winning horse ever appear in winners enclosure? Trainer said he was wobbly.

PressRun

Many Clouds was very hot and fairly pooped after the race. They wanted to keep him moving and throw water on him to help him cool down. The enclosure was too confined for him.

PressRun

Word coming through now that Balthazar King has in fact just bruised his ribs. Fantastic news if true!

Brought him in for a lap of honour once he had cooled down.
