Did anyone see the Virtual Grand National on ITV4 last night? It used all the statistics about the horses, jockies etc. and used CGI to construct today's Grand National. It was incredble to watch; you could hardly tell it wasn't real.
They ran it last year and in the actual race there were 20 finishers. The virtual one predicted 19 finishers. 6 out of the top 10 finishers were predicted. The virtual winner was 2nd.
This year's predictions are: 1st = TIGER ROLL 2nd = CHASE THE SPUD 3rd = TOTAL RECALL 4th = HOUBLONDES OBEAUX
1 unseated 3 refusals 6 fallers 30 finishers

Interesting!
I usually have a punt on the National but it's the wrong time of the month this year.

Closest finish I think I've ever seen. Closest since 2012. That was almost a dead-heat.
