- Millions watch Potters Corner ‘complete’ National double
- Tiger Roll fourth as viewers tune in for ITV simulation
Potters Corner became the nearest thing we will see to a Grand National winner this year when he crossed the line first in ITV’s Virtual Grand National on Saturday. The computer simulation was broadcast in the slot that would normally be occupied by the Aintree race, abandoned along with the rest of the sporting programme because of the coronavirus crisis, and the result was disappointment for any romantics who hoped that Tiger Roll might be allowed to win, thus completing a hat-trick of sorts.
