HORSE RACING: Martin Pipe's Grand National winner Miinnehoma dies
MIINNEHOMA, winner of the 1994 Grand National for Wellington trainer Martin Pipe, has died at the age of 29.
The horse, owned by comedian Freddie Starr, was an 11-year-old when he was ridden to victory by jockey Richard Dunwoody.
Martin Pipe's son David, who has taken over as trainer at their Nicholashayne yard, said: "He was a wonderful old horse - a real character who remained at the yard until the end.
"He was a great champion and will be missed by all associated with him."
