Broadway Boy heading home after Grand National

Broadway Boy was making his way home to his Gloucestershire stable on Sunday after staying at Aintree overnight following his fall in the Randox Grand National.
The Nigel Twiston Davies-trained seven-year-old received treatment on course following his heavy fall at the second Valentine’s and after eventually walking into the horse ambulance, he remained at the track for further observations.
Willy Twiston-Davies, assistant to his father, said: “It sounds a lot more positive and he’s coming home. There’s going to be a couple of weeks of uncertainty for future racing.
“But it looks a lot more positive than it did yesterday and the most important thing is our horse is coming home and should be OK.
“His welfare for the next few weeks is the most important thing and the vets at Aintree did a tremendous job and Laura Scrivener, who looked after him all night, was fantastic with him and our boy’s coming home.”
Broadway Boy was seemingly enjoying the challenge of the Aintree marathon and was leading the field along in the hands of Tom Bellamy when coming to grief as the race was beginning to take real shape.
Bellamy was taken to hospital following the fall and was found to have broken his wrist, but both the jockey and the trainer’s son have been left wondering what could have been.
“It was such a shame he fell and I spoke to Tom Bellamy and he said he would have loved to know what might have been, as he was lobbing round in first gear and enjoying it, but it is what it is,” continued Twiston-Davies.
On Bellamy, he added: “Tom’s broken his wrist, but he’s happy and bright.”
