National Velvet to come true?

[Gingertipster]

Wouldn’t it be Grand if Nina was to go on from todays win and "emulate" Liz Taylor?

Garde Champetre now 25/1 for National Glory.

That would be a story, I think there is a chance a fairytale could come true.

I’m not all that sure the National course is bonkers enough for Garde Champetre, like Spot Thedifference before him a horse whose thought process at any given time is probably of the "Ooh look, a squirrel!" variety, but my goodness, I’d like to see him try it and prove me wrong.

Hey, if he wins the National he’ll actually exceed his half million pound price tag in earnings at long last. Who’d have thunk it!

My initial reaction as he crossed the line was "Grand National!"

He is a bit little though.

At least she will ride better than Liz Taylor did and probably not fall off at the end just passing the post.

My initial raction when he crossed the line was Yahoo!!! but the Grand National? Different world, I’d say keep your money. They go twice as fast in that he’d be all but tailed off IMO
