Claim: 1849 Grand National (Wednesday, 28 February) was planned to consist of Bretherton who never took part again, and The British Yeoman who returned after placing second.
Evidence: The 1849 Grand National Steeplechase was the 11th official annual running of a handicap steeplechase horse race at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool on Wednesday, 28 February. Bretherton never again took part in a National, though he remained a regular visitor to Aintree over the next quarter of a century. The British Yeoman returned after finishing third in the previous year's race and was again partnered by Charles Bevill, taking his third and final ride in the National.
