Sad news in racing as the 1992 Grand National winner ‘Party Politics’ is put to sleep due to old age. Party Politics has a great chaser and had an enviable record in the National. Winning in 1992 with Carl Llewellyn on board and going well in the famous void race 12 months later before finishing second to Royal Athlete in 1995. He had 8 career wins and won over £250,000 for his owners.

Carl Llewellyn said of Party Politics: “He was a fantastic jumper of the National fences, and gave me one of the best days of my life.
“It was a real shame that he never got the chance to win back-to-back Grand Nationals, as he was going significantly better at The Chair in the 1993 void National than when he won it in 1992.”
