What do you get when you combine the Grand National, Cheltenham Gold Cup, 2000 Guineas and the Derby horse races? The Great Eight Chase, that's what.
Let me paint you a picture. I've got eight finely tuned racehorses hailing from seven countries across three continents, seven money-grabbing owners, two cunning businessmen manipulating things, a deluded farmer and one state-of-the-art racetrack. So do yourself a favour, pull up a chair, grab your reading glasses and let me explain the story of the greatest race that never was.
