🏇 Excitement is building as Welsh jockey Sean Bowen rides the country’s big hope, Haiti Couleurs, in the 2026 Grand National! 🌟
With over 200 wins this season, Bowen is set for Aintree glory with the talented gelding, trained by Rebecca Curtis in Pembrokeshire. It’s been over a century since a Welsh horse clinched the title—could this be the year? 🤞
Despite a challenging run at the Cheltenham Festival’s Gold Cup, Haiti Couleurs has already bagged victories in the Irish and Welsh Nationals. Bowen, who shares a special bond with Curtis, is optimistic about their chances. “Riding for Becky is special; it’s more than just another race,” Bowen shared.
He emphasises, “Haiti is a true Grand National horse—stays well, jumps solidly, and if the conditions are right, we’ve got a cracking chance.”
Keep an eye out for this dynamic duo at Aintree, where the rain might just play in their favour. Currently, Haiti Couleurs is at 14-1 odds—fingers crossed for a historic Welsh win! 🍀
