New beginning for Brennan as Nacarat bowls ’em over

A NEW chapter in Paddy Brennan’s life could barely have opened in a better way as the front-running Nacarat gave the rider a Grade One victory in the totesport Bowl at Aintree yesterday.

Just a week ago, the Irishman announced he was leaving his position as stable jockey to Nigel Twiston-Davies, insisting there was no acrimony as he made way for the trainer’s two flourishing sons Sam and Willie.

He expects to still be part of Twiston-Davies’ set-up but succour has been provided by Tom George, trainer of Nacarat as well as Zanir, winner of a valuable handicap hurdle at Auteuil in Paris on Wednesday.
