There is no shortage of serious contenders in Saturday’s Racecourse Hotel and Motor Lodge Koral Steeplechase (4250m), and Marton trainer Dan O’Leary will saddle two of those in Te Kahu and Captains Run.
Captains Run flew under the radar in last year’s Great Northern Steeplechase (6500m) and nearly caused a big upset, and he is heading into Saturday’s Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Grand National Steeplechase (5600m) with a goal of going one better.
There are few sights more spectacular than watching jumps racing at Riccarton Park, and Saturday’s Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge 149th Grand National Steeplechase Day offers a front-row seat to a phenomenal afternoon of racing.
