Monbeg Genius looks likely to line up in the Grand National - let's just hope he doesn't go on to win
On Tuesday hundreds of people will assemble in St George’s Hall in central Liverpool for the unveiling of weights for the Randox Grand National. Unusually, some in attendance will be hoping not for glory in the race, but that one specific horse does not win: 20-1 fancy Monbeg Genius.
The concern about Monbeg Genius is due to the damage that success at Aintree in two months could cause as a result of his ownership by Barrowman Racing Limited.
