Toogood for Timeform pair

The Tim Easterby-trained Toogood To Be True, owned by the Timeform directors Reg Griffin and Jim McGrath, gained some compensation for missing the Grand National with an infected hock when winning the featured Wetherby Handicap Chase at the West Yorkshire track yesterday.

"We've now had 21 wins from our last three horses with the Easterbys," Griffin said, "12 from this one, six from Beneficiary and three from Instantaneous." The winner may now go for the Scottish National.
