Owned by the legendary owner, gambler Dorothy Padgett, Golden Miller was to chalk up a remarkable five successive victories in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The first of these wins came in the 1932 season when Golden Miller was just five years old. Better was to follow in 1934, when still at just seven years of age he won both the Gold Cup and the Grand National in the same season. A feat that has never been equalled before or since. His sequence of Gold Cup victories may have been even better had it not been for the 1937 renewal being lost to the weather. After his one National victory he developed the habit of refusing at the big fences and was never successful there again.
