Re: Horse Racing
Imperial team wait on National call.

Quote:
Connections of Imperial Commander are likely to wait until Tuesday before deciding whether to run the 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero in the John Smith's Grand National.
The 12-year-old is reported to be back in rude health after recovering from a lung infection that denied him the chance to reclaim his Gold Cup crown earlier this month.
However, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding, who would have to defy top weight of 11st 10lb at Aintree on Saturday week, will not be risked should the ground be heavy. Should be conditions be testing, he would also be likely to miss his alternative engagement at the meeting, the Betfred Bowl.
