The previous year’s star mare Miss Mowbray finished second in 1853 to one of the early heros of the game, Peter Simple won the race at a record age of 15! Tom Oliver both rode and trained the genuine old chaser, and it was owned by Josey Little who himself had ridden Chandler to win the 1848 renewal of the race. 21 went to post in 1853 and all returned safely.
