Let's talk about... the Scottish Grand National | Canton & Grey Abbey head our recollections

Dave Youngman: My favourite winner of the Scottish National was THE FOSSA in 1967, he was ridden by Andy Turnell for trainer Fred Rimell and carried a mere 9-12. Stan Mellor rode the horse in the Grand National that Foinavon won, Stan came off the horse at the twenty third fence and in all the furore caught and remounted a horse he thought was The Fossa and jumped three fences before he realised it was the wrong horse he was on. That was in the days when I followed jump racing more than I do today. Now I have my Racing Club and so many members I concentrate on Flat racing more. Today was my first Saturday out on the Limekiln gallops here at Newmarket and although a little chilly it was fabulous. Stay well and safe everyone.
