Owner of Mill Reef
or sir Raymond guest the owner of Sir ivor the man that punted his horse at 200/ 1 and it started 4/5

Neither Dave but good guesses.

He owned a Derby winner and a Grand National winner.

If I recall correctly it was the bookie William Hill who laid Sir Ivor to lose satchels full as he was of the belief that the horse wouldn't get the mile and a half trip and stay up the hill.

No.

Another clue. His derby winner was trained by Noel Murless.
