Scottish Grand National 2007 Result
It was yet another victory for Ferdy Murphy in the 2007 Scottish Grand national, but better than that was the fact that he trained the first two horses home. Hot Weld won the race with stablemate, Nine de Sivola in second. Hot Weld was ridden by claimer, Paul McDonald and he did it the hardest possible way, leading from start to finish. He jumped soundly throughout the race and became Murphy’s third winner of the Scottish Grand National since 2000. The surprise however was that he finished in front of Nine de Sivola as Murphy had fancied the second to win and indeed he was the 5/1 favourite, while the winner was a 14/1 shot.
