Seagram

In 1991 the Grand National was sponsored by Seagram Distillers. That should have told everyone something when a horse called Seagram turned up at 12-1 beating the favoured 7-1 chance Garrison Savannah.

The subsidary of Seagram Distillery were called Martell Cognac - ring any bells? From 1992 the National was sponsored by Martell but as yet, no horse with that name has sprung up.
