Lost in translation
Rule the World, priced at 33/1, won the Grand National on Saturday afternoon and Mouse Morris, the horse’s trainer, was understandably emotional following the race.
The Galway native lost his son Christopher when he tragically passed away of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while travelling in Argentina last year.
This combined with the shock of seeing the horse he trained win the prestigious race meant Morris was struggling to articulate the wave of emotions he was experiencing when being interviewed by Channel 4.

Morris’ flustered state was perfectly understandable, although some Twitter users were left bemused by his interview, and claimed not to be able to understand a word the 65 year old said.
Knew EXACTLY what Mouse Morris was saying then 😂🐎
