1934

March 23rd: Despite many attempts over the years, winning the Grand National and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the same season is a notoriously difficult thing to do.

That’s probably why it has only ever been done once, and that was by Golden Miller in 1934.

One of the most famous racehorses in history, Golden Miller, is known for his incredible achievements in the 1930s. Nearly one hundred years on, he is as famous today as he was then.

1959

March 21st: The annually-held Grand National championships are a pretty fantastic time for gaming enthusiasts from all over the world. And such a typically fabulous racing occasion was the 1959 National, which buzzy sporting contest was won by Oxo, a still little-known horse at the time.

This marked the 113th unveiling of the famously competitive horse-riding affair...usually run at the Aintree Racecourse, a few miles from Liverpool in England. Taking place on 21 March, it has been fittingly remarked as being one of the most exciting versions ever, with a couple of firsts that rendered it a particularly memorable clash.

1966

March 20th: The football World Cup has been stolen while on exhibition at Central Hall in Westminster, London.
The £30,000 solid gold Jules Rimet trophy disappeared while a church service was taking place in another part of the building.

Thieves removed the cup from the "Sport with Stamps" display at the Stampex exhibition, but stamps worth £3m were left behind.

1938

March 19th: As the nation gears up for the final round of the Guinness Six Nations this weekend, it’s hard to imagine a time when rugby wasn’t on our screens, but today is the anniversary of the first televised rugby match, a Calcutta Cup match between England and Scotland.

On March 19th 1938, 83 years ago, the BBC broadcast the first ‘Six Nations’ game in which Scotland, captained by Wilson Shaw, beat Herbert Toft’s English side 21-16.

1910

March 18th: A classic, legendary Grand National. Blessed with the presence of a great horse, Jerry M, who put up the best weight carrying performance since Manifesto in 1900, this renewal marked the beginning of a period that would cement the National not only as the most popular horse race in the world but also as the most wonderfully chaotic. The fences were not any higher (see the discussion section for 1909), however, they were almost certainly thicker, stiffer and more firmly grown from 1910. Each horse's most dangerous bar to success was not always another horse and jockey but the challenge of negotiating the obstacles and the consequences of the havoc they wreaked in the form of a veritable posse of loose horses (as can be seen in the brief film).
