Harry Beasley Senior was both the jockey and trainer of the 1891 Grand National winner Come Away.
Roddy Owen, the rider of the runner-up, Cloister, afterwards threatened to set about Harry for not allowing him up on the rails during the race.
Richard Marsh, Cloister's trainer, restrained Owen saying, 'I wouldn't do that, Roddy. You may come second again.'
Harry was an incredible 73 years old when he rode in his last steeplechase at Punchestown and a record-setting 83 years old when he rode his own filly Mollie in Balydoyle's Corinthian Plate.
Harry Senior also rode in the 1886 Grand National, coming second on Too Good - a horse named by the Empress of Austria.
Harry, born in Co Kildare on February 11, 1850, died on October 19. 1939, aged 89. He left £588.
