Staffordshire hope Saint Are looking just Grand for the National!
SAINT ARE will be carrying the hopes of the West Midlands when he competes in the Grand National tomorrow – and his Staffordshire-based owner reckons things are looking good for the 11-year-old.
David Fox, who runs Cheslyn Hay-based PP Control & Automation, said his horse is looking in fine fettle ahead of the biggest day in the racing calendar tomorrow. Fox saw Saint Are race to second place two years ago and feels he has a chance of going one better this time out – with the weather drying out the famous Aintree course which will suit his horse perfectly.
“He is coming good just at the right time,” said Fox, who lives near Rugeley. “He looks in absolutely great nick at the moment – we can tell he is ready because his coat changes from a matt black to a shiny black.
“Right now it’s as shiny as a pair of patent leather dancing shoes, he’s looking fantastic.”
