I certainly wouldn't be running my Gold Cup winner over 4 1/2 miles around Aintree lugging topweight in four weeks time.

JP might though. It would be a hell of a double and great from a sporting point of view.

Has any Gold Cup winner won the National in the same season? Anyone know how many horses have won both races (different seasons)?

By:
Golden Miller uniquely won both in the same season. Garrison Savannah got close.
However, the Gold Cup is traditionally a prep race for the National, though it's outgrown that nowadays. |

L Escargot was the last to win both in the 70s, not same season though , he actually won the GN 4 years after his second Gold Cup and had his warm up in the 2 mile champion Chase
