Broadway Boy could retire after ugly Grand National fall as trainer’s ally lifts lid
Carl Llewellyn, a member of the Twiston-Davies team who looks after Grand National faller Broadway Boy, has released an update on the horse’s condition. The two-time National-winning rider has hinted that the seven-year-old would have a “lovely retirement” if he is to never run again.
The gelding took a severe fall over the second jumping of Valentines on Saturday and was attended to by veterinary professionals on track before walking into a horse ambulance. Last night, it was reported that vets were ‘happy’ with the son of Malinas’ condition, and connections were ‘hopeful’ he’d be ok. This morning, Willy Twiston-Davies, assistant to trainer Nigel, revealed that Broadway Boy would be returning home. Now, former jockey Llewellyn has expressed his hope for the horse and suggested that the seven-year-old could enjoy a lovely retirement were he to never race again.
