Pineau de Re to return in the autumn
Monday 8 September 2014 12:23, UK
Grand National hero Pineau De Re is not yet back in the care of trainer Dr Richard Newland but has been pencilled in for a hurdling start at some stage before Christmas.
The 11-year-old has not been seen on the racecourse since his five-length victory in the famous Aintree race in April.
"He's in great order, he's actually at a pre-training yard," Newland told At The Races. "He has done lots and lots of roadwork and he'll come back to us in about four weeks.
"We'll give him a run over hurdles, maybe at the Paddy Power meeting (Cheltenham in November), or if that comes a bit soon then something after that."
