Winning jockey’s tactics at the Grand National
How did Murphy manage to win the Grand National…you might ask yourself this question. He said that his main concern was the first fence but that Comply Or Die had been riding much better with his blinkers on, so maybe this was the trick. Murphy also rode a horse called Our Vic in the Totesport Bowl earlier that week. Murphy said that his aim at the grand national this year was to get his horse into a rhythm and ensure that he was feeling settled. Murphy took over from Tony McCoy as Comply Or Die’s owner David Johnson’s top jockey.
