What could be more appropriate on the evening following the Blue Riband of jumping than some Grand National memories by a jockey who won the great race triree times? Ernest Piggott rode Jerry M to victory in 1912 and scored two years in succession on Poethlyn, in 1918 and 1919-a feat achieved by neither man nor horse in recent times. Captain Eric Rickman (' Robin Goodfellow ' of the Daily Mail) will also come to the microphone to say a few words about some of the Grand Nationals he has seen.
