ON THIS DAY - 12th March
On this day in 1936 Golden Miller won the Cheltenham Gold Cup for the fifth time.
Golden Miller (1927–1957) was the most successful Cheltenham Gold Cup horse ever, winning the race in five consecutive years between 1932 and 1936. He is the only horse to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National - in the same year (1934).
He retired in 1939 with a record of 29 wins from 52 races and a statue of Golden Miller was erected near the parade ring at Cheltenham Racecourse.
