Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Tērā pea nā te whakaongaonga o te Grand National, engari i hinga tēnei hoiho i te tūtukitanga tuatahi i muri i tana rerenga ki te paru matotoru. Ehara i te mea ko Becher's Brook - ko tētahi o ngā taiapa tino rongonui o Aintree - engari i kitea e Cody i roto i te poke i Belvedere, ki te tonga-rawhiti o Rānana. I eke nga mema o te kapa ki roto i te poka wai i a ratou e ngana ana ki te whakaora i te kararehe e raru ana ki te haumaru i te ahiahi o te Paraire. He āhuatanga uaua: Neke atu i te haora te roa o ngā tohunga whakaora kararehe e whakaora ana i a Cody i muri i tana hīkoi ki te kōhauhau. I taupokina a Cody ki te paru i muri i te tohatoha ki te haumaru, engari - ahakoa i wirihia e te whakapawera - kaore i whara. Ko Richard Welch, Kaiwhakahaere o Bexley, e mea ana i whakapau kaha ngā kaimahi ki te whakaora i te hoiho. I tāpiri atu ia: 'Kotahi te mea e tino mohio ana, e kore e rere i te Grand National apopo.' I hinga ia i te arai tuatahi: i mau a Cody i te paru i muri i tana hikoi ki te paru i Belvedere ki te tonga-rawhiti o Rānana. 'Kua whakahokia a Cody ki te whare witi kia tirohia e te tohunga kararehe.' I tonoa ngā kapa patu ahi ki te whakaora i a ia i tōna whakamamaetanga i mua tata i te 1.30pm, ā, i mahi mō te haora me te hawhe i mua i te whakawātea i a ia i te 2.55pm.
I piri a Cody i muri i tana rerenga ki roto i te awa i Belvedere, ki te tonga-rawhiti o Rānana. He haora me te hawhe te roa o ngā tohunga whakaora kararehe ki te whakaora i te hoiho e raru ana. Whai muri i tana tukunga, ka tirohia te hoiho e te tohunga kararehe, a ka whakahokia ki tana paari.
