    He's just the best horse in the race

    And turned it into a procession last year

    Runs off the same mark tiger did when winning his 2nd and his gold cup 3rd suggests hes as good if not better than tiger

    Think I'm going to make my main winner
    Suspect as with James de Berlais yesterday, would be caught on the line by something carrying a stone or more less.

      Delta could do with it I think!

      ….overcast and a little bit of rain but not lots so far. Not raining at this moment.

        I agree he's arguably the best horse in the race, but that weight after a fair effort in a GC will make it hard. If he wins he'll surpass Tiger imo

            • Top4 spots filled by proper graded horses, fair performance from the winner well done to anyone who backed

              • If you'd have told me a couple of years ago old shopping trolley wheels would be an Irish and Grand National winner... some horse, brilliantly amusing and impressive career trajectory.

                • Ahh Delta paid for my next holiday but very good winner in the end, should have held onto a bit to help the repeat!

                      We should get justice refunds for being right was a long old year looking at those bets...

                      • And there being no cross country this year, meant Delta Work, Minella Indo and Galvin, arrived here fresh.

                          In my opinion it made for a better spectacle. I usually watch the race but don't enjoy it but this year was an entertaining watch for me.

                            Yeah, another kick in the nuts for Henderson.
                            Think I described him having legs made of tights, with snooker balls in the end.

                              Yep,not the race it was. The classy horses have a massive advantage now. Messed with it too much.

                              Great for fav backers .

                                Definitely, was a great watch

                                Any of ten had a chance

                                had to chuckle when Corach came down at the first, just one of those weeks for me

                                Everything that could've gone wrong did, bit like royal ascot last year
