Re: Horse Racing
Judge clinches National for King.

Godsmejudge became the youngest horse since 2001 to win the Coral Scottish Grand National when running out an emphatic winner of the Ayr marathon.
The seven-year-old, sent off a 12-1 shot, emulated Gingembre 12 years ago to show older rivals a clean pair of heels when galloping to a four-length verdict over Midlands National hero Big Occasion (12-1). Mister Marker (25-1) was nine lengths away third, with Tour Des Champs (25-1) fourth.
It was a fitting success for Scottish-born trainer Alan King and jockey Wayne Hutchinson, who has proved an able deputy for injured stable jockey Robert Thornton.
