Post Grand National horses
Has anybody had a game horse capable to contest or win Grand National from the 3/5 starting horses offered at start of a new game?
Anybody won National with a game horse ?
Anybody won the National.
If so could you inform me of their stats.
Anybody prepared to satisfy my curiosity out there ? (Maybe this of interest of other aspiring novice jump trainers.)
I would be most obliged.

Hi Arapho,
Yes I have managed this with one of the starting horses. I won't be able to post an image till tomorrow though. The horse in question has had 3 cracks at the race finishing, I think, 17th, 1st and 8th. Unfortunately his preferred going is firm so he struggles most of the season.
Will be going for a 4th crack later this week but I have much better candidates this time, both also game horses.
I think I got very lucky with my starting horses as I sold 3 but the other one I kept won a couple of grade 1 2 mile chases.

Thank you Pommard for reply. I dont need a picture just the stats, but would love to see a image of your horse.
Anybody else out there with a winner

As you can see his stats were not the greatest. The potential, light and dark green, has dropped from its peak but neither were ever full

Rather shocked me by regaining his crown. Definitely off to stud now. I could never win the race in previous SO versions now I can't stop :)

I think he meant stats of the 3 out of your 5 starting horses that are GN standard.
