Big race winners
The list of major races won by the inmates of Grange Hill Farm grows ever longer and the list on the right are just some of Nigel's horses who've flown the stable flag with such distinction.
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 their rides through the horses' original partners suffering broken legs, the unlucky duo being Tom Jenks and Jamie Goldstein respectively.
The big winners continue to roll with the epic three winners on Gold Cup day March 2010 and with the stable looking as strong as ever, we look sure to be adding other names to the "Grange Hill Farm Hall of Fame" before too long!
