FEVER GRIPS BRITONS
Meanwhile, G r :1 ii d National xfever gripped most Britons as the post time fro the 112th running of the worlds most famous jumping race approached. A field of 34 was ex-pected to start in the gruelling 41/2-mile race with its 30 obstacles.
A final odds callover is sched-
uled for tonight at the Victoria
Club in London, but there is no doubt Wyndburg will remain the favorite. Latest odds listed the Scottish-own-ed jumper at 17 to 2. Wyndburg finished second last year to Sundew, who later was hurt in another race and was de- stroyed.
The first Irish Hospitals sweep- stake of the season is based on the Grand National. With pros- pects for softer going, Goosander, a mudder, dropped from 20 to 1 to 18 to 1. Mr. What, Sentina and Spring-silver also /were 18 to 1.
