Has TB got any outsiders running?

My AI bot tells me:

Tony Bloom, the owner of Brighton and Hove Albion, has a horse named Energumene that is considered a strong contender for the Grand National. Energumene won the William Hill Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival and has a record of seven wins from eight starts over fences. After winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Inothewayurthinkin is now a 5-2 favorite to win the Grand National on April 5, 2025, which would make it only the second horse after Golden Miller in 1934 to complete the double in the same season.

Mullins/Townend take the first 2 races on the opening day of the festival in glorious sunshine.

Wonder how many horses are going to end up getting killed this year?

Stats seem to average out at 2 or 3 at the Aintree festival. 65 in the last 25 years according to Animal Aid. 1 already today.
There were none last year for the first time in ages. Surprised you can't bet on how many will die too.

Will they show the big race at Selhurst during the match tomorrow on their state of the art video screens?

Yes, but it will only be visible to those in the rear blocks of the Terry Waite

Open to outside manipulation...

If you bet on 2 and they are all still standing jumping the last, snipers could be used to help you win the bet
