2011 Grand National winner Ballabriggs has been installed as the 14/1 favourite to win the 2012 Aintree showpiece

The McCain name will for the fifth time be etched on the Grand National trophy after the famous Racing dynasty trained ANOTHER Grand National winner when Ballabriggs took the 164th running.
 
Ginger McCain  - famed for his Red Rum exploits and 2004 follow-up with Amberleigh House left it up to son Donald the handle the 14-1 winner this time.
 
The giant bay gelding saved the bookies’ bacon after holding off a late bid from the well-backed favourite The Midnight Club, and last year’s winner Don’t Push It – ridden by Sports Personality Tony McCoy.
 
Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, told Bettingpro: 

‘We’ll take that. The McCain name is synonymous with the Grand National, and it should have been a caning, but we’re okay. We haven’t won enough to bail-out Portugal, but it won’t be a sleepless night in the Hills offices.’’
 
Nearly half of the adult population gambled on the famous steeplechase, and William Hill estimate that the industry turnover for the Great British Betting tradition measured around £150million.
 
William Hill have quoted Ballabriggs as a 14-1 chance to emulate the famous Red Rum and follow-up in next year’s running. Oscar Time – runner-up this year is a 20-1 chance.
 
Grand National 2012 (William Hill Bet): 14-1 Ballabriggs, 20-1 Chicago Grey, Oscar Time, Beshabar, The Midnight Club, Don’t Push It. 33-1 Always Right, Big Fella Thanks, Mon Parrain, Niche Market, Silver By Nature, The Minack, Wymott 40-1 bar (EW 1/4 1,2,3,4)
