Jockey Elizabeth Gale partners Celebre D'Allen to victory in the Jewson Vieux Lion Rouge Veterans’ Handicap Chase at Aintree Racecourse. Gale, who overcame a back injury, scores a comfortable win on the 11-year-old horse.
Jockey Elizabeth Gale was overjoyed to partner Celebre D'Allen to victory in the Jewson Vieux Lion Rouge Veterans’ Handicap Chase as racing returned to the home of the Randox Grand National for the first time this season.
“I broke my back a few years ago point-to-pointing and I missed a year of racing. It has been slow to get going, but days like these will get me going. I’m over the moon. It was really hard , but we have some great people looking after us so I can’t complain. I’m fairly vague with targets, but if I could get a rode around in the conditional jockeys handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival that would be a pinnacle moment for me like today is.
Dual Grand National-winning trainer Twiston-Davies was also delighted to land another winner at Aintree. The Naunton handler added: “He is a smasher, but he has just taken a long time to mature. Going three miles has been the making of him. He didn’t jump that brilliantly, but going over fences is where his future is. I was worried beforehand if he would settle, but he nearly over settled and he was doing his best work at the end.
