We did not get to attend this race but some friends did. They reported fairly nasty weather but an exciting main event.
Private Attack, Ridden by Blythe Miller Davies, won the $30,000.00 Grand National in 6 min. 39 seconds. Blythe had won this race back in 1991...so it was a long time between victories for her at this venue. I have seen Blythe race numerous times at Radnor and she is a damn fine steeplechase jockey. Congratulations to her and her team on a fine win.
Parenthetically, what can we say about the choice of pants for the two "gents" pictured above? On a wet, windy and raw day are these really the pants you pull from the closet?....a bit too much "oooh look at me I'm a zany Prep-guy" for true Steeplechase afficiandos.

I don't think Blythe Miller has had a legitimate ride in a 'chase in over 10 years! How's that for 1st off the bench?
Parenthetically, they look ridiculous. Put a Barbour on man! Oh, were we talking about the trousers?
Ha, those pants! The brighter pair look like clown pants!
First-timers. :-) xoxo
Patchwork madras... ADG is Nostradamums. But the other ones --- the "clown pants," them, them I like!
