CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS sent out the first two home in the Coral Scottish Grand National with Win My Wings taking the big Ayr prize ahead of Kitty’s Light.
Draped in the Welsh flag and clutching the winners’ trophy, Williams said: “We came with two horses we thought could win the race. I feel sorry for Kitty’s Light but nothing would have beaten Win My Wings today, that’s how it looked to me. It was some performance.”
To lessen Win My Wings’ big weight, Williams booked crack Irish amateur Rob James, successful in 250 point-to-points, as he was entitled to claim 7lb. But the style of the mare’s victory suggested she could have won with a much heavier jockey on her back. Kitty’s Light, not much bigger than a pony, ran her heart out for Jack Tudor.
