Monbeg Genius among favourites for Aintree race on 13 AprilRacing Post says win could ‘cause significant damage to racing’
Monbeg Genius, the horse owned by the couple at the heart of the PPE scandal, the Conservative peer Michelle Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman, remains on course to line up as one of the favourites for the Grand National at Aintree on 13 April.
Speaking at a lunch in Liverpool on Tuesday to reveal the weights allotted each runner in the world’s most famous race, the horse’s trainer, Jonjo O’Neill, said Monbeg Genius, joint third-favourite at 16-1 with William Hill for racing’s biggest betting event of the year, will have his Aintree prep run at Kelso early next month.
