    Achieving the Impossible: Picking a Grand National Winner

    Although the Cheltenham Gold Cup is one of the highlights of the racing calendar, we revealed that it isn’t as open a race as originally thought.

    The Grand National

    I don’t need to say much here as there will be acres of writing on the background to the world’s most famous horse race.  As a spectacle, it’s the highlight of the National Hunt calendar and arguably the highlight of British horse racing jumps or indeed flat.  It’s a race that brings out office sweepstakes and people who have a…
