Cameron Sword, who scraped together funds to buy his share in Corach Rambler, said it’s the “best three grand I’ve ever spent”
A student who bought a share in Grand National winner Corach Rambler for just £3000 was celebrating last night after the victory scooped him £60,000.
He has won at back-to-back Cheltenham festivals and has now landed the biggest prize in jump racing. Corach’s career earnings since being trained by Lucinda and partner Peter Scudamore are almost £700,000. “It was a good night. We were aware we’d have to drive home at five in the morning so we went to the hotel for dinner, a few drinks and I was in bed for 1am. I still can’t believe it. It really hit me when we drove into the yard and saw all the cars and hundreds of people.”
Cameron said: “The money was out of my savings and he was the only horse Lucinda had for sale, so I decided to get involved. She’s my local trainer, just 20 miles away so I came here and he was for sale. It’s pure luck. My parents didn’t try to put me off because they know how sporty I’ve been. Jockey Derek, who partnered the stable’s 2017 winner One For Arthur, fought back from a shoulder injury to make the race. Cameron made a beeline for the brave jockey to thank him.
Top news stories today Trainer Lucinda plans to give Corach Rambler a well-deserved break, with next March’s Cheltenham Gold Cup one potential target for the future. She said: “He’s just a fabulous horse. I don’t know if he’ll run in another National, he’s probably handicapped himself out of it now. We will give him plenty of time. You won’t be seeing him on a racetrack until December.”
