Post Oldest Grand National Winner?
Bought this legend in the auction after his National win at 13 years of age, immediately exported him for the league. Kept him in training as a 14yo and then wins another National! His ideal trip now must be about 5 miles!

Dude I think that gets you into the Trainer Hall of Fame. That is an extraordinary achievement. Congratulations.

Can someone please remind me how to attach an image as I may be able to match this, albeit off a much lower handicap mark.
Have you got the second stats page as I would love to see the deteriation.

Gonna give it a go as a 16yo! up to a mark of 135, plot to get his mark down failed when he unseated over 3 miles. think he may be able to do it off 125-130, but 135 is a big ask

Too bad he's a gelding - that cruising burst bar would be good to breed with :-)

My best to date, I can only match Martyn's and not John's but I did get to ride it myself :). I also had a 15yo in the race but that pulled up injured!
