Homefield (Flat)
Floyd (NH)

One of my great memories of the game was the year Hot Weld made all in the Scots National, an exhibition of jumping.

Talking of Scotish Nationals reminds me of the real gutsy and great jumper Hello Bud who led all the way and also won 2 Bechers chases ar Aintree as a 12 and 14 yo! Terrificly game horse.
