Winning jockey Davy Russell: I used to make my own Aintree fences in my garden

Jockey Davy Russell spoke of a lifelong dream being fulfilled after he rode Tiger Roll to victory in the 2018 Grand National.

The 38-year-old Irishman rode his first National winner at the 14th time of trying.

"I was thinking of all the times that my Dad cut the grass and it was the only time I enjoyed picking it up because we'd make our own Aintree fences around the garden."
