The Grand National Hurdles and Grand National Steeplechase haven't been run on the same day since 2008, which went the way of the Paul Nelson-trained duo Just Not Cricket piloted by Jonathan Riddel, and Just A Swagger with Brett Scott. However, the last jockey to win both races AND on the same day was our very own Tom Hazlett.
A man of many talents, he may be in front of the camera these days, but Tommy Hazlett knows a thing or two about winning a premier jumps race. In fact, he won all the major jumps races in New Zealand with the exemption of the Great Northern Steeplechase. In 2006, Tommy rode the Mark Oulaghan-trained Yourtheman to victory in the Grand National Hurdle, and very quickly followed that performance with a win in the Grand National Steeplechase aboard Bogeyman for Allan Sharrock.
