The Racing Horse attended the preliminary preparations for the Coral Welsh Grand National

The Racing Horse was invited to attend the preliminary preparations of the Coral Welsh Grand National to be run at Chepstow on Thursday 27th December 2012 and this took place yesterday at the Rebecca Curtis stable in Newport, Pembrokeshire. Once again we met the current favourite for the race Teaforthree (pictured above) and can report that he is well and absolutely thriving. More about our day on a designated page and this will appear here tomorrow.
