Bush Rummager 4,679 Posted April 14, 2024 Report Share Posted April 14, 2024 A bit later here but I backed Kitty's Light back in November and took 25's on it. Little story behind it. We were on holiday in Wales back in October and had a ride out one day and we pulled down a little lane to look at some castles ruins. As we were getting out of the car load of what were obviously race horses went past us and waded through the river that ran past the castle. I had a quick Google and the trainer Christian Williams has his stable along side the little lane down to the castle ruins. Anyway, I got Googling and his stable star Kitty's light was being targeted for the National this year after having won the Scottish national and the old Whitbred at Sandown on consecutive Saturdays last year so I had to have a couple of quid on it early doors. It came 5th so I'll get a bit back. They ran it on the outside obviously to avoid any fallers but that extra distance covered must add up over 4 plus miles as opposed to a horse hugging the rail! I didn't have the feel of the race it used to have for me after all the changes they've made! The trainer with Kitty's light and his family. Can just see the old castle ruins in the background there! A link to the stables if anyone is interested!
