'I can’t believe it, to be honest. He’s a phenomenal horse and he’s been so lucky for me. It’s a blessing that I ever got the leg up on him on that first day.'
The 8/1 horse, trained by Lucinda Russell and her partner in business and life, Peter Scudamore, Corach Rambler was ridden to victory by jockey Derek Fox, who was passed fit for the race by a doctor late on.
As for whether he had any moments of doubt, the double Grand National-winning jockey said: "He normally gets held up a wee bit but today he just jumped out and travelled everywhere so, I just let him bowl away. He’s electric to jump, the cleverest horse. He’s so intelligent. My only concern would be if he was in front for too long but that wasn’t the case. I was just doing the steering, to be honest.
Noble Yeats, ridden by Welsh jockey Sean Bowen, had gone into the race looking to defend his 2022 champion title.Three-quarters of all bets placed on the race are each-way bets and they're so popular because you're not actually betting on your horse to win outright. Instead, you're betting on it to finish among the top handful of places, the specific number of which are determined by the bookmakers.
