WE know that no Irish-trained horse has won the Scottish Grand National in over a hundred years (literally), but we are getting closer.

In 2015, Jim Dreaper got to within three-quarters of a length with Goonyella. In 2021, Pat Fahy finished a close-up third with Mister Fogpatches. Last year, Liz Doyle sent out Flash De Touzaine to finish third too.
