Peter Simple (horse)

Peter Simple (horse)

Peter Simple was the third racehorse in history to win the Grand National steeplechase twice, emulating The Duke and Abd-El-Kader. After winning in 1849 the horse failed to complete the course during the next three years before winning again in 1853 at the age of 15, the oldest ever winner.

A full account of his victories in 1849 and 1853 can be found at www.hometown.aol.co.uk/captainbeecher/1849PETERSIMPLE.html andwww.hometown.aol.co.uk/captainbeecher/1853PETERSIMPLE.html.
