Wayward Lad, an English Thoroughbred racehorse foaled in 1975, was one of the "Dickinson five" (Michael Dickinson trained all the horses which took the first five places at the 1983 Cheltenham Gold Cup). But there was far more than that to Wayward Lad's career, which ended in early 1987. By then he had won 28 of his 55 races on 16 different tracks and his final success, at the 1987 Grand National meeting, brought his career earnings to £218,732, at the time a sum beaten only by Dawn Run. His best wins came in that Liverpool race (now the Totesport Bowl) twice, the King George VI Chase, which he won for a third time in 1985, the Charlie Hall Chase and the Edward Hanmer Chase. Sadly a row between his owners resulted in him having to go to Doncaster sales where Tony Dickinson (Michael's father) bought him for 42,000 Guineas and sent him to retirement with his son, who had begun a new career training in the USA.
