Ruby Walsh: Bizarre National with lots of unanswered questions
I left Aintree last Saturday evening wondering what the hell had just happened. How did a race that had improved so much over the previous nine years, with early-fence fallers totalling nine, produce eight in one go?
Why did the loose-running Galvin not take the open bypass routes around Valentines Brook but instead turn 90 degrees and bring Recite A Prayer straight through a running rail with him? Why was there so much commotion?
