I love hearing about which National winners people backed. I've had a fairly decent record over the years. I backed Red Rum every time he ran, so there's three winners straight off the bat. Then I picked Lucius, Ben Nevis, Corbiere, Earth Summit, Silver Birch, Ballabriggs, Neptune Collonges, and Tiger Roll when he first won it. As for this year, I might back whatever Rachael Blackmore is riding. The way she is going, she could be the first female rider to win.
