A LEGEND RETURNS
We’re thrilled to announce that Aintree legend Vieux Lion Rouge will parade before the race named in his honour – The Vieux Lion Rouge Veterans Handicap Steeple Chase.
A true icon, he ran in five Grand Nationals, six Becher Chases (winning twice), and even landed the Grand National Trial at Haydock Park. Don’t miss his return to Aintree!
