 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.

 Re: Oldest Grand National Winner?
I cant beat that thats some effort hard enough to get a 14 or 15YO to win a claiming race let alone the grand national

 Re: Oldest Grand National Winner?
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.

 Re: Oldest Grand National Winner?
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

 Re: Oldest Grand National Winner?
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!
