<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#ffff99"><i> <h1><b><u> Royal Athlete</u></h1></b> <p>
1995 Winner Royal Athlete beat the 1992 winner Party Politics by seven lengths in this wonderful National. Royal Athlete had sustained so many injuries over his time it was hard to predict if or when he would run. <p> He was due to defend his title but unfortunately the weather played a large part due to frost and snow and therefore Royal Athlete was retired to a Gloucestershire farm where he later died at the age of 20.
