TIGER Roll will NOT chase an historic Grand National hat-trick after his owners scratched him from this year’s field.
The legendary 11-year-old, trained by the disgraced Gordon Elliott, became the first horse to win back to back Nationals since Red Rum in the 1970’s.
Owners Gigginstown House Stud have decided to withdraw him from this year’s race at the latest elimination stage, blaming an ‘unfair weight’.
Gigginstown, the racing operation of Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary, announced on Monday they would stand by Elliott after the image of him sitting on a dead horse was shared.
And now they have said they will not run their legendary chaser, who won the race in 2018 and 2019, at Aintree next month.
