Mr Incredible Barred from Grand National by BHA

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has barred Mr Incredible from competing in the Randox Grand National due to his recent performance, which included failing to complete multiple races. Trainer Sandy Thomson expressed frustration over the decision, particularly as the horse's owner, James Manclark, had long sought to enter the prestigious race. The National Fence Review Panel, responsible for assessing horses' suitability, deemed Mr Incredible 'unruly' after he pulled up during a recent race at Kelso. Despite an appeal from Thomson and connections, the BHA stood firm on its assessment, highlighting concerns about the horse's ability to start and his recent form. Mr Incredible's unpredictable behavior has been a recurring issue, although he previously showed potential by finishing as a runner-up in the Midlands Grand National. The team now aims to prepare him for next year's race instead.
