Amberleigh House was trained by legend Ginger McCain, and was usually ridden by jockey Graham Lee, amongst others. Lee rode Amberleigh House to his Grand National win.

Grand National

Amberleigh House made his Grand National debut in 2001, being brought down in a melee at the 8th fence, the Canal Turn.

Since then Amberleigh House has competed in four more Grand Nationals, ridden by Graham Lee on all four occasions. In total he raced 11 times over the National fences (including races shorter than the Grand National) and never fell.

After being pulled up in the 2006 Grand National, Amberleigh House was retired.
