Lord Gyllene
New Zealand-bred racehorse
Lord Gyllene (10 November 1988 , 12 December 2016) was a New Zealand-bred racehorse which won the 1997 Grand National at Aintree. He was trained by Steve Brookshaw for owner Sir Stanley Clarke CBE and ridden by Tony Dobbin. Lord Gyllene was retired by his owner in 2001 due to injury. He had a race record in the UK of four wins, five seconds and one third place from 13 runs, as well as two wins from 23 starts in New Zealand.
