Big race winners

The list of major races won by the inmates of Grange Hill Farm grows ever longer and the following are just some of Nigel's horses who've flown the stable flag with such distinction.

Mrs Muck * Tipping Tim * Captain Dibble * Dakyns Boy * Beau * Young Hustler * Gaelstrom * Indian Tonic * Sweet Duke * Arctic Kinsman * Earth Summit * Corrouge * Ocean Hawk * Kerawi * Mistinguett * Jack Doyle * Upgrade * Kings Road * Mahler * Rubhahunish * Mister Morose * Frantic Tan * Bindaree * Fundamentalist * Ollie Magern * Baron Windrush * Knowhere * Pettifour * Imperial Commander * Irish Raptor * Hello Bud * Khyber Kim * Razor Royale * Baby Run * Pigeon Island

Nigel is one of only two current trainers to have sent out two different horses to win the greatest race in the world, The John Smith's Grand National at Aintree.

Here, 1998 winner Earth Summit, lass Marcella Bayliss and jockey Carl Llewellyn, are joined by 2002 winner Bindaree, lass Sam Wood and jockey Jim Culloty.

Both winning jockeys had luck on their side in that they picked up the ride through the horses' original partners suffering broken legs, the unlucky duo being Tom Jenks and Jamie Goldstein respectively.
