Who would have thought that this Irish point-to-point winner would also go on to win the Grand National a few years later? One For Arthur finishes in front, with Blaklion, who was fourth in this year’s Grand National, finishing in third here
What a race the 4yo Maiden from November 2013 at Lingstown in Co.Wexford has turned out to be. ONE FOR ARTHUR won that race for Barry O'Neill and Liam Kenny, with Blaklion finishing in third. 3+years on and that same pair finish 1st & 4th in the £1million Aintree Grand National!!! ???Read the Full Report here: m.p2p.ie/news.php?news_id=16358
