Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakahaerehia e Jonjo O'Neill he haerenga ki te papaho pāpāho i te Rāpare i tana marae o Jackdaws Castle i Gloucestershire, a, i kii ia kaore e taea te koa ki te mea pai mo te Crabbie's Grand National, Shutthefrontdoor. E whakangungu ana ia i a Shutthefrontdoor mo tana kaitiaki matua a J P McManus, nona nei a Jackdaws Castle, a kei te pupuri ia i a AP McCoy, te kaikawe Jump kua pakaru i te rekoata e tata ana ki te wikitoria i tana toa toa 20 o nga kaikawe ka mutu ka reti. Kaore ano a McCoy kia whakatau mēnā ka eke ia ki Shutthefrontdoor i te £1 miriona Crabbie's Grand National i Aintree i te Paenga-whāwhā 11, engari ko nga mea katoa e tohu ana ka eke ia. E tūmanako ana a Jonjo O'Neill kei te eke a AP McCoy ki Shutthe mua ki te wikitōria o te Grand National hei te mutunga o tēnei marama. Ka mea a O'Neill ki a Betfred: 'He tino pai te ahua o te tatau o mua. Kāore e taea e au te tino harikoa ki a ia. I hiahia ahau ki te rere ki a ia (i mua i te Grand National) engari he mate kino i runga i tana sinus i te marama o Hanuere / Hui-tanguru i roa te wa ki te rapu i te waahi. 'I whakaaro mātou ki te tuku i a ia ki te rere i Cheltenham (i te Hui i te Poutu-te-rangi) engari i whakatau mātou kia kaua. Ki taku whakaaro he hoiho pai ake ia i runga i te ara papatahi, ā, tuarua, kāore au i te hiahia ki te tuku i tētahi whakataetae uaua ki a ia i te wā kāore i rite ki a ia i tēnei wā. Kei te pai tana ako, kei te tika. 'He hoiho ia he ma-hau, e kore e uaua ki te whakarite. I rite ia ki te rere me te wikitoria i te wa tuatahi i Carlisle. E haere ana ia ki Aintree he mea hou, he mea ora. Kei runga katoa i a AP ināianei mēnā ka eke ia ki runga. 'Me whai hoiho pai koe mō te National. I mua, ka hiahiatia e koe he kaihoe pai me te waimarie nui, inaianei he whakataetae tika. He mahi nui a Aintree ki te rori, ā, ko ngā taiepa he tino pai. 'E pai ana ia ki te noho ki runga, ā, ko te tūmanako kei roto i te haurua tuatahi o ngā kaieke - koinei tonu taku mahere. Ki te waimarie ia ki te rere i te maero tuatahi, ka eke ahau ki a ia. 'E kore ahau e peti na e kore e hanga i te reira i tetahi rerekētanga ki ahau he aha te utu ko ia - e whakangungu noa ahau te hoiho rite te mea i haere ia mo te iwi iti i Stratford ranei tetahi mea! Ko te Grand National o tēnei tau ka riro i a McCoy...
