Pineau De Re: the untold tales behind the Grand National hero

A decade after their Grand National triumph with Pineau De Re, winning jockey Leighton Aspell and trainer Dr Richard Newland have recounted their fond Aintree memories - and why attending the best horse race in the world as a fan should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Aspell won only two major races in England - both coming in successive Grand National wins in 2014 and 2015. Aintree success is no easy feat in a jockey’s career, but Aspell is able to fondly reminisce about his emotions towards the race and how the ride came his way in 2014. Pineau De Re was a brilliant winner of Aintree's iconic race. But it wasn't plain sailing after he was purchased as a 10-year-old with the race specifically in mind. Connections became anxious he might not obtain a rating high enough to make the cut and then, on the morning of the race, there were fears he might be ruled out by vets. And once the race got under way, some of those closest to him mistakenly thought he had fallen at the first fence! Newland and Aspell tell us the full story - including why the former had to apologise to Princess Anne afterwards. Plus we get to see the hero himself, Pineau De Re, now 21 years young. #horseracing #grandnational #horses #aintree Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
