Newland describes his emotions before and after the race, how he celebrated the victory that evening and the perfect weekend topped off with a double at Market Rasen the following day.
The Worcestershire-based trainer had success at the Cheltenham Festival back in 2007 but views the Grand National as a more prestigious event to land success.
Approaching 50 winners for the season for a third year in a row, Dr Richard Newland’s hopes before the close of play for the jumps later this month revolve very much around attaining a half century once again.
He discusses his favourite track to have runners and the importance of syndicates in the sport, with a high-level of representation in his yard.
