WHEN the Tommy Carberry-trained, Paul Carberry-ridden Bobbyjo famously won the Grand National in 1999, he earned £242,600 for his connections. That’s apparently worth about £395,450 in today’s terms.

When One For Arthur won the race in 2017, he earned £561,300 for his connections. That’s an increase of 42% on the 1999 level in real terms.
