It seems the information I was using the other day when posting about SNAP DECISION's win in the Grand National was incorrect. He is now the 2nd leading money winner in NSA history, behind only McDynamo.

From the National Steeplechasing Association: "With the hard-fought victory on Saturday — his first in four tries in the big race — the 10-year-old Hard Spun gelding put himself at the front of the line for his first Eclipse Award. In addition, he became steeplechasing’s second leading all-time money earner, vaulting past Lonesome Glory and Good Night Shirt, and trailing only McDynamo." https://nationalsteeplechase.com/snap-d ... nd-moment/
