The John Smiths 2011 Grand National threw up some incredible results, least of which was the fact that we heavily promoted the backing of Ballabriggs who romped home at 14/1. Unusually there was no real outsider who crossed the finish line in first to fifth place, with State of Play having the longest odds of 28/1. Another great race, no major upsets and Donald McCain Jr bagging his first Grand National win as a trainer!
