Even when things look desperate, success is just over the next fence for those who choose to make the jump. Here’s a happy story of endurance and hope on a quiet day in horseracing
The jury is out on the 2012 John Smith’s Grand National to be run at Aintree on Saturday. Love it or hate it, it is a spectacle of endurance that tests man and beast and has captured the imagination of millions around the world.
It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
There’s lots more to play for!
