Potters Corner Wins Virtual Grand National

Potters Corner winning last year's Welsh Grand National | Racing Post

Potters Corner (Ire) (Indian Danehill {Ire}), trained by Christian Williams and ridden by Jack Tudor, was an 18-1 winner of ITV's Virtual Grand National on Saturday. The 5-1 favourite Tiger Roll (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}), winner of the last two runnings of Aintree's famed steeplechase, was fourth.

ITV announced that it would put on a virtually simulated Grand National using CGI technology after the real event was cancelled last month as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Virtual Grand National quickly became a charitable event, with a handful of bookmakers announcing last week that they would donate all profits made on the event to the National Heath Service.
