No thoughts of retirement just yet for Bristol De Mai
Gallant grey could drop down to handicaps for future engagements.
Ever-popular chaser Bristol De Mai will be kept in training after his bid to win the Betfair Chase for a fourth time at Haydock last weekend. The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained 10-year-old has won 10 of his 34 chase starts and finished second on another 10 occasions. The consistent grey won the Grand National Trial at Haydock in February and is still showing plenty of enthusiasm, showing up well for a long way on Merseyside before tiring from four out to finish fourth, so connections will keep him in training for the time being.🏇 A wonderful servant!

He may not have come out on top, but the three-time winner put in some spectacular leaps, including this beauty @Dazjacob10 @simon_munir @NigelTwistonDav @haydockraces pic.twitter.com/PnOz93oPBv — Racing TV (@RacingTV) November 19, 2022
