Grand National Clues From The Red Square Vodka Gold Cup The Red Square Vodka Gold Cup is run at Haydock in February over 3m4f and its timing in relation to Aintree and the fact that it is run over the big Haydock fences make it a popular choice with trainers planning a tilt at the Grand National.
Previously known as the De Vere Gold Cup and The Greenalls Gold Cup this race has long been associated as a Grand National trial and still had the words “Grand National Trial” in its title until 1999.
Recent Grand National Runners who Ran in the Red Square Vodka Gold Cup Since 1988, two Grand National winners have run in the Red Square Vodka Gold Cup in the same season:
1998 Grand National winner Earth Summit finished 5th at Haydock
1992 Grand National winner Party Politics finished 5th at Haydock
Five horses that took part in the 2007 race at Haydock went on to contest the 2008 Grand National including some well fancied horses at Aintree such as Bewleys Berry, D’Argent and Point Barrow.
2009 Grand National Tips from Red Square Vodka Gold Cup
With two horses having won at Aintree after competing at Haydock, horses who perform well in the Red Square Gold Cup could be interesting betting prospects. Keep an eye on the runners from this race in February 2009. In the meantime the winner of the 2008 Red Square Vodka Gold Cup looks to have a major chance in next year’s National. Miko De Beauchene has proved his stamina and resolution and has far less to prove than many of his potential opponents.
