Group 1 winner GOD GIVEN and her colt foal by LOPE DE VEGA enjoying some sunshine at Whatton Manor Stud ☀️ #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock @ed.player @ballylinchstud
Last but not least is of course the 1977 Grand National in which Red Rum made history by winning his third running of the race. An exceptional horse, whose impeccable jumping meant he cleared in excess of 150 Aintree fences without mistake! #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Today we're revisiting last year and TIGER ROLL's fantastic second win in the race, making him the first horse to win consecutive Grand Nationals since RED RUM in 1974. A wonderful, brave little horse who we look forward to seeing next year! #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
At @rosemontstud today carrying out inspections for the @inglis_sales Easter Sale including Lot 377 a colt by Zoustar, out of Celsius (pictured). @widdenstud @tweenhillsstud #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Another fantastic memory of the Grand National was the 1981 running, won by Aldaniti who had previously had over a year off the track following a serious leg injury, and who was ridden by Bob Champion, who himself had recovered from cancer - an inspiring comeback from both horse and rider! #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Great morning spent inspecting @two_bays_farm draft & @ampullalodge’s sole offering for the @inglis_sales Easter Yearling Sale which commences online on Tuesday. Pictured below is Lot 393, an attractive filly by @coolmoreaustralia PRIDE OF DUBAI. #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Our Grand National memory today comes from 2010, the year in which DON’T PUSH IT, trained but @jonjooneillracing gave @apmccoy his first victory in the race, on the fifteenth time of asking! #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Next up is the 1990 Grand National, won by MR FRISK in a record time of 8m 48secs, ridden by Marcus Armytage and trained by @kimbaileyracing. The pair went on to win the Whitbred Gold Cup just three weeks later. #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
Today's highlight is GOLDEN MILLER, who remains the only horse to win both the Cheltenham Gold Cup & the Grand National in the same season, as well as being the most successful Gold Cup horse to date, winning the race in 5 consecutive years! @thejockeyclub @aintreeracecourse @cheltenhamraces #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
With the Grand National @aintreeracecourse lost to COVID-19 next weekend, we're reflecting on some of our favourite past runnings and where better to start than an example of racing moving quickly to overcome a crisis - LORD GYLLENE’s 1997 win following a 2 day postponement of the race following a bomb scare at the track #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
POSITIVE PEACE takes the Gr.2 Emancipation Stakes @rosehill_gardens_racecourse, her 5th consecutive win! Bought with @bjornbakerracing at @inglis_sales Easter, she is the 2nd Group winner bought with Bjorn in 2 weeks after MISSYBEEL’s Gr3 win last week 🙌🏼#AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock

Inexplicable call by @alshaqabracing to close doors at Bouquetot! A very short sighted decision! They should reopen NOW for the sake of thousands of people employed in our great industry. We MUST stick together and that means STAYING OPEN FOR BUSINESS and showing some bottle!
Fourth win on the trot for Positive Peace winning the last race at Rosehill. Purchased at the @inglis_sales Easter Yearling Sale for @bjornbakerracing.
A great front running ride by Louise Day makes it four wins in Australia for the @ciaronmaherracing trained Quality Seeker. A 55,000gns @tattersalls1766 Autumn Horses In Training purchase. #AnEyeForSuccess #BlandfordBloodstock
