Only five finish-two horses are killed, and two jockeys injured. The winner, 20 to 1 shot early mist, Irish bred and trained. Establishing shot - 250,000 fans are out for the national. CUMS - Trainers parade the horses. MCUOHS - Flag at half mask in respect to Queen Mary. MLS - All the horses take off and some make the jumps and other horses take the jumps and end up falling leading to their euthanasia. MCUS - Early Mist wins, he was a 20 - 1 shot. | |
