The victory was worth \u00a3142,375 to Redknapp, who was trembling as he spoke to ITV Racing moments after his winner was confirmed.<\/p>\n
“It is a dream, to have a horse that good is unbelievable,” he said. “I love the game that much.<\/p>\n
“To come here on King George day and just run made me so proud, but to have the winner is special.<\/p>\n
“I am so lucky. It is right up there. I love the racing and the game, the people in it, and to have a winner on the big stage is fantastic.”<\/p>\n
Joint-favourite Jango Baie was a length back going into the final fence and was closing on the lead trio right up to the line.<\/p>\n
“When they came to him, I thought he was beat and would finish fourth,” said Redknapp, 78.<\/p>\n
“But he’s come again and the guts the horse has shown is just amazing.<\/p>\n
“Everyone was jumping on me at the end and I didn’t know I had won.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The victory was worth \u00a3142,375 to Redknapp, who was trembling as he spoke to ITV Racing moments after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":336798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-336797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=336797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
