PAST WINNING GREY HORSES IN THE GRAND NATIONAL
In Grand National history there have been just three grey horses that have conquered the world’s greatest Steeple Chase a total of four times.
THE LAMB GRAND NATIONAL GREY WINNER (1868 & 1871)
The Lamb was the first grey horse to claim victory in the Grand National in 1868. Winning again a few years later proved that a grey winning the race was no fluke.
Three years later The Lamb won the Grand National for a second time in 1871 but this time under jockey Mr Tommy Pickernall a dual winning rider in the Grand National himself.
NICOLAUS SILVER GRAND NATIONAL GREY WINNER (1961)
It was a remarkable 90 years later before another grey horse triumphed in the Grand National.
GRAND NATIONAL GREY WINNER NEPTUNE COLLONGES (2012)
There was another long wait of 51 years until the next grey winner. It was Neptune Collonges who was the third grey horse and the most recent grey to win the Grand National.
