Denman,.. Bookies favourite to win 2011 Grand National..
#1
It Is the most gruelling race In the National hunt racing calender and the one that Animal Welfare orgs try to get banned.

It Is run at Aintree In England on 10th April every year over 4 miles, 864 yards.
It consists of 30 formidable jumps such as 'Beechers Brook', and The Chair.
This race Is not about speed as In most Horse Races but stamina and the ability of the horse to stay on his feet.
With 40 runners, even the best Chaser can be brought down by another horse Mis-judging a fence.

Denman Is Kauto Stars stable mate and greatest rival... They share the same trainer 'Paul Nichols' In Somerset england.

In his entire racing career, Denman has only ever fallen once, Ironically at Aintree last April.

Even at this early stage, I can see nothing that will touch him.
I predict 'Character Building', 'Madison Du Berlais' and 'Tricky Trickster for place bets.

Denman has 2 nick-names In the racing world... 'The Tank' and 'Demolition Denman'. Gold cup winner 2008, Gold cup runner up 2007, 2009, 2010 and double Hennessy Gold Cup winner 2008 and 2009.
This horse Is moody and Un-prdictable, he may decide to throw his jockey on the day but If on form, no wonder the Boookies are taking no chances at 141 Anti-Post.

In this race November last year, Denman was Handicapped carrying maximum extra wieght.... Watch 'The Tank' as Poetry In Motion.

Of course America had been discovered earlier. It was hushed up.
