What A Friend was one of the Best Bets for UK Grand National This Year
What A Friend is regarded as one of the finest horses for the English Grand National this year. The eight year old is owned jointly by Ged Mason and Alex Ferguson and the horse is actually the half brother of the famous winning pointer My Little Lady. The horse was trained by Paul Nicholls, the winner of several top races including Cheltenham Gold Cup for 4 times. The Alex Fergusons Horse is a Double Grade One Winner and was ridden by the famous jockey Daryl Jacob. The horse got 4th place in Gold Cup this year where for the 1st time, he was wearing blinkers.
Jockey Jacob is highly impressed by the horse’s performance in Gold Cup and tweeted to ride on him in the Grand Nationals too. Last April only the horse had a gallant victory at Aintree’s Totesport Bowl where he was ridden by the famous Irish jockey Ruby Walsh. Walsh too is delighted with the Ferguson horse and thought him to be one of the finest contenders for Grand Nationals. In the 2011 Grand Nationals the horse is said to have carried 15 pounds after Phil Smith, the Official Handicapper assessed that the previously declared 11 pounds would be too less for the horse.
