Far Hills is in New Jersey and once a year has a race day for jumps racing which they say proceeds whether rain or shine.

The feature is the Grand National – it's a hurdle race and this year's edition has 8 runners let by Irish raider Salvador Ziggy from Gordon Elliott's yard with Jack Kennedy riding – he should be a very popular jockey with the Americans!  He's 2/1 with Seddon at 3/1 next best and we have to invest something on Scorpion's Revenge 6/1 as he is by our old friend Scorpion. 

Interesting that the trophies for the winning connections are described as "a piece of plate" so will be interesting to see what that is actually.
