Corach Rambler, winner of the 2023 Grand National, has been retired, trainer Lucinda Russell announces
The 10-year-old finished third in this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup and was among the favourites to win at Aintree again, but unseated his rider at the first fence.
A two-time winner at the Cheltenham Festival, his final run came at Punchestown last month, where he pulled up. Trainer Lucinda Russell said the decision to retire the 10-year-old was "laced with sadness" but was "also a joyous one"."More than anything we want him to go out at the top, in excellent physical condition and able to hopefully enjoy a long and happy retirement.
"He will forever be remembered for his Grand National victory but it should not be forgotten that he had an excellent record at Cheltenham. "To some our decision will be a surprise. Corach is only 10, he could have raced on. But we feel we have a great responsibility with a horse with his public following to do the best thing for him."Go behind the scenes...Man City move close to history - thanks to an unlikely hero'Foundations really fragile' at Spurs - Postecoglou
