And finally, War Of Attrition aims for Aintree |
No.1 online bookie for Grand National betting |
War Of Attrition, hero of the 2006 Gold Cup when he beat a Grand National winner in Hedgehunter, has his eye on the big Aintree prize after winning a Grade 2 Hurdle at Gowran Park last week. War Of Attrition was winning for the first time on over a year and the eleven year old has to be regarded as disappointing since his famous Cheltenham victory. However he was showing some of his old sparkle when scoring at Gowran Park and the Grand National this year is now his big aim. Trainer Mouse Morris hopes his charge will be spot-on for Aintree, which will also be the final race in War Of Attrition’s career. Morris confirmed the old stager would be retired following his Grand National exertions. The bookies were relatively impressed and cut War of Attrition in The Grand National betting from 40/1 to a generous looking 33/1. |
