Rachael Blackmore’s ride Ain't That A Shame could go off as favourite for the 2023 Grand National after a surge of market support for the Henry De Bromhead-trained horse in the last two days.
Having been available at a general 20/1 at the start of the week, the nine-year-old is now 9/1 with most bookmakers for Saturday’s big race. Blackmore, of course, became the first female jockey to win the National with Minella Times in 2021.
Ain't That A Shame’s closest market rival is Delta Work, who is also around 9/1 for the Aintree showpiece. Delta Work, trained by Gordon Elliott, won the Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March and finished third in last year’s National.
