I think it was Susan (?) Morris, definitely Morris though. Not 100% that she was the first, though she would have been my guess. Just, but only just lol, before my time though.
Well done both of you, Susan Morris is the correct answer. As you actually named her I guess it’s over to you VTC.
It’s okay GM, I don’t really like setting the questions, and I’m happy for OA to set the next one if he’s happy with that.
Thanks VtC. I’m not very good at this and I don’t think this will last long, but let’s have a go.
What links Bob Dylan to Nijinsky’s Derby?
Hi OA, a horse ran in that Derby called Tambourine Man!
Ok, here’s the next one:
Name the last horse to be ridden to Grand National victory by his trainer.
The Pace is hard to follow at the moment, but it’s nice to see you all sprinting to lead. Happy New Year!
Best Wishes

I think the beast in question would be Lanzarote.
Should that answer prove to be correct then michael’s question as above can stand in lieu of one of my own.
Spot on , Seasider . Well done .
Lanzarote , trained by Bula’s trainer , Fred Winter , and ridden by John Francome , was indeed the horse in question who fell and injured himself during the 1977 Cheltenham Gold Cup .

Chris Grant finished 2nd on 3 occasions as a jockey in the GN.
Who am I? An Irish emigrant and amateur rider I trained many winners on the continent as well as two winners of each the Grand National, Champion Chase and Grand Sefton.

This one seems to have stumped everyone so some additional clues:
I trained at Findon and one of my Grand National winners won only two races in his entire life.
