The Dude abides
Or obliges, at least.
Backers of Monbeg Dude had plenty to shout about towards the end of yesterday’s Aintree Grand National as the long-shot charged to a spirited third-placed finish in the World’s Greatest Steeplechase™.
And the 40-1 outsider, who chased home winner Many Clouds and runner-up Saint Are, netted a tidy betting profit of €145,000 for his part-owner, and former England rugby hero, Mike Tindall, who bought the horse for just £12,000.
Big day, nerves have already set in. Come on the dude!!!!! http://t.co/MPgmQZZZXW
