Bookmakers
Sitting Pretty!
To-day's Grand National Considered Very Open AMATEUR RIDER'S WAGERS
Liverpool, To-day. With an outsider in Squadron Castle winning the first leg of the spring double, bookmakers are set- ting pretty over the Grand Nation- al Steeplechase, which takes place to-day, especially as it is consider- ed one of the most open races in many years with no horse competing comparable with giants of the past like Manfesfo or Cloister,
The fine weather at present pre- vailing and consequent good going is likely to result in a large num ber of ponies completing the course and no debacle like the 1928 race, when only two finished, is likely to occur, which makes the picking' of the winner even more: difficult.
I.
One of the most interesting run- ners will be Drim, who finished 'the. course last year. He will be ridden. Jack by a young amateur, Mr. Morris, who has only recently taken win up riding, Mr. Morris will £7,500 for an outlay of £71 if Drim wins.
EXTRAORDINARY WAGER
He has found layers for a wager of 100 to 1 against him complet- ing the first circuit 500 to 10. against him getting over the first fence and 1,000 to 1 against him winning the race.
A lot of money has been wagered recently on Blueshirt, who finished. seventh last year when starting as joint favourite Blue Shirt wan backed to win £11,000 last night. Reuter.
