Paddy Kennedy still floating on air after experiencing magic of the National

He is a few days down the track but Paddy Kennedy is still floating on air after guiding Magic Of Light to finish second in Aintree Grand National, on his first ever ride at the track.

Kennedy and the gutsy mare trained by his boss Jessica Harrington have already been assured of a form of racing immortality, because the 2019 renewal will be replayed in perpetuity, Tiger Roll having become the first horse since the mighty Red Rum in 1975 to garner the coveted prize not just for a second time but in succession.
