G RAND NATIONAL - Greatest steeple chase in the World !
R ule The World - 50 : 1 outsider - stormed ahead in an
A wesome last furlong to take the 2016 National trophy !
N ineteen years old was his Jockey - DAVID MULLINS.
D on\'t ever underestimate the skill and drive of youth !
N o other Horse Race is quite like the Grand National
A intree a suburb of Liverpool is the venue. As a young
T eenager I once stood near Beechers Brook to see the
I ncredible agility of the horses as they landed teetering
O n their front two legs regaining composure then over the
N ext one with the grace of a bird. The blessing is this year
A ll the fallers survived Horses and Jockeys ! So we can all
L ook forward to 2017 - more thrill and less spills - AMEN !
