39 hopefuls but only one winner
There can be but one. But how do you know what to re-mortgage the house on to make sure you’re on that ‘one’? You could do like our old Uncle Paul and head up to the pub and wait for some divine inspiration, or you could do something a little more sensible and take advice from one of the top tipsters in the business.
Looking at the runners and riders it can look like a particularity difficult minefield to try and pick out a horse that is going to last slightly longer than the opening five furlongs. But like anything, if you do a little bit of study and you get your head into the books you’ll stand a much better chance of succeeding. If only we had known that in college.
Luckily for you Ladbrokes’ Hayley O’Connor has done all the study for you. She’s looked at the various factors such as age, weight and history in the Grand National that combine to make a successful champion.
And when you’re dealing with 39 horses that a lot of work.
Helpfully however she’s decided to share that information with the rest of us and thanks to our friends in Ladbrokes’ we can bring you Hayley’s #LadsTIPTalk that she recently gave to students at UCD.
However if you’re a fan of Tony McCoy and you’ve already lumped on favourite Shutthefrontdoor then you may not be too happy with what she has to say.
