sabato 9 aprile 2016. Liverpool: Rule The World domina il Grand National G3 di Aintree a 33/1! In sella David Mullins per Mouse Morris // Rule The World given hero’s welcome home // Di seguito i risultati di tutte le corse di Aintree di sabato 9 aprile: Riunione del Grand National

 

 
 
 
 
C’è qualcosa di più epico e leggendario del Grand National? Non abbiamo mai avuto la fortuna di partecipare dal vivo ad un meeting del genere, certi che si tratti di qualcosa di unico dove si celebra una festa e soprattutto si celebra il cavallo. Aintree come parabola della vita. Di fronte ad un ostacolo, salta. Anche se è il più alto, anche se il più difficile, tentare rende sempre immortali. Si può anche perdere, non prima di aver dato tutto. La copertina della giornata è tutta per il 19enne David Mullins, figlio di Tom e nipote di Willie, alla prima esperienza a Liverpool, che ha montato la corsa della vita in sella ad un cavallo allenato da Mouse Morris e che si chiama Rule The World (Sulamani), nomen omen, il quale ha vinto Crabbie’s Grand National G3 a 33/1 al primo tentativo nonostante fosse maiden sulle fences, ma già vincitore in ostacoli “over hurdles”.. Rule è un 9 anni di proprietà del Gigginstown House di Michael O’Leary, il CEO di Ryan Air alla terza affermazione di livello nel periodo dopo la Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup con Don Cossack e l’Irish Grand National conRogue Angel. I suoi cavalli sembra abbiano le ali, perdonateci la battuta. Come detto Rule The World era maiden sulle fences, ha superato due gravi infortuni al bacino ma nonostante ciò ha trovato una integrità che gli ha permesso di allenarsi con continuità e presentarsi di fronte ai 30 salti e alle 4 miglia e mezzo da affrontare nella migliore condizione possibile. Questo grazie al genio di Mouse, allenatore dei grandi eventi. Secondo è arrivato il favorito The Last Samurai (Flemensfirth) mentre terzo il veterano Vic’s Canvas (Old Vic), 13 anni, vivido in battaglia. Altra notizia importante: Sul traguardo sono transitati 12 cavalli, ma tutti i 39 partecipanti del Grand National 2016 sono tornati sani e salvi alla base.

Rule The World given hero’s welcome home

 BY DAVID JENNINGS 10 APR 2016 

A CROWD of hundreds turned out to welcome home Grand National hero Rule The World on Sunday.

Less than 24 hours after his Aintree heroics, Rule The World returned to Mullingar, Ireland for the traditional homecoming – and received a rapturous reception from locals.

Winning trainer Mouse Morris was also on site for the party, although he seemed to take slightly less pleasure in the fanfare than his horse.

“Look this whole thing is not my cup of tea but sure isn’t it great,” said Morris.

“All these people have come out to welcome us home and, to be perfectly honest, I am humbled by it all.”

Morris won a Gold Cup with War Of Attrition but said Rule The World was the best he has ever trained.

“Rule The World is the best horse I have ever trained,” he said. “If he didn’t fracture his pelvis twice and I had a clean run with him, he could have been a Gold Cup horse.

“I think he was better than War Of Attrition was. I am not just saying that now because he won a Grand National. I have always said it.”
