The ‘best horse that ever looked through a bridle’, Lottery won the major steeplechases of his day at Daventry and Cheltenham as well as the ‘first’ Grand National. In his old age his party trick was to jump the luncheon table of his owner, John Elmore, ‘soup tureen and all’, with the greatest ease.
