when did ben nevis win the grand national
Ben Nevis (horse) In the 1979 Grand National, Ben Nevis was strongly fancied and started fourth choice in the betting but fell at The Chair obstacle.[1] In the 1980 edition of the race, he went off a odds of 40/1 outsider in a race run on heavy going. He was ridden by the American amateur Charlie Fenwick, a merchant banker.[1] By the second circuit, he had taken the lead. At the last jump, he was in front by 10 lengths, and at the end of the race he won by 20. Ben Nevis became the third American-owned jumps racehorse to win the Grand National. He died of colic in early 1995 at the age of 27,[3] and was buried alongside the 13th fence at the Grand National course in Butler, MD.[4]
