The somewhat unwanted highlight of Peter Bayley Ransom's career was to finish second on three consecutive occasions in Liverpool's Foxhunters' Chase.
Riding Monk's Choice, he finished runner-up to the brilliant hunter chaser Colledge Master, Grand National winner Merryman ll & April Queen (1960).
Monk's Choice also twice came third in the same race.
Peter, who was born on February 12, 1934, actually rode his first winner in Nakuru, Kenya (Gamecock, in October 1951). He also won the Kenyan Champion Hurdle.
On October 24, 1957, Peter married Joan Bearcroft. She gave him a son, Francis Edward.
He died in Kenya in December, 2001.
