Jonathan Davies
When Jonathan Davies helped Wales to Six Nations Grand Slam glory three years ago, he had even more reasons to celebrate.
It was while on the pitch with his teammates following Wales’ victory over Ireland that he learned the horse he part-owned, Potters Corner, had won the Midlands Grand National.
Nine months later the talented chaser, trained in South Wales by Christian Williams, added the Welsh Grand National to his big-race haul.
The Covid-19 pandemic robbed him of a crack at that season’s Grand National but he did run out the winner of the virtual race run in place of the great Aintree contest.
Jonathan inherited his love of racing from his granddad, who also owned horses.
