Cause Of Causes To Have Well-earned Rest Cause Of Causes will have time off now after he capped a wonderful season with his runner-up placing in yesterday's Aintree Grand National. The nine-year-old was successful at the Cheltenham Festival for the third time last month when landing the Cross Country Race in the hands of Amateur rider Jamie Codd. Frank Berry, racing manager for owner JP McManus said: "It was a fabulous run and Cause Of Causes just found one too good. We've been happier with him this season and you'd have to be delighted. That's it for the season. Trainer Gordon Elliott added: "Cause Of Causes ran his heart out again and we are delighted with him. We couldn't be happier. Jamie Codd said: "He is a great little horse to do what he has done there. He is incredible. It was just unfortunate that there was one two good for us today. Second in a Randox Grand National and he is only 16 hands. I am delighted - a little bit disappointed but delighted." My old pal...
