A special day at Aintree

Aintree is such a special place, and we have enjoyed so many days there over the years. Not least having Kitty’s Light finish 5th in the big one last year surrounded by family and friends, it’s hard to put into words how much we cherish these memories.

This year was no different with Deep Cave getting up close home to take the opener, under another strong and perfectly timed ride by Jack Tudor. No runners at Cheltenham and only one at Aintree, but we like to make them count.

We were delighted to be sent Deep Cave at the end of last year by Owner Caolan Woods on the recommendation of Daniel Cooper. A gorgeous looking horse who has thrived in our training regime, we gave him a small break to freshen him up and targeted yesterdays race so to see it come off is wonderful. He will be very special over fences next year.

Congratulations to all of my team, especially Ella who rides him at home, and Best Turned Out for John too - he looked a million dollars and I am a very proud trainer.

Thank you to all at Aintree for looking after us superbly, we’re already looking forward to being back next year.
