JP McManus gelding was favourite for Aintree‘It’s all about doing the right thing for the horse’
Inothewayurthinkin, the six-length winner of Friday’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, will not attempt to become the second horse to win the Gold Cup and Grand National in the same season. He has been taken out of next month’s race at the latest forfeit stage.
Inothewayurthinkin was handicapped for the Grand National on the basis of his form before his defeat of Galopin Des Champs, the Gold Cup winner in 2023 and 2024, and would have been around a stone “well in” at the weights had he lined up for the world’s most famous steeplechase on 5 April. As a result, he had been cut to around 3-1 favourite to emulate Golden Miller, who completed the Gold Cup/Grand National double in 1934.
