Many of you would not have heard of John Gorton......Tops of the Top... 
( I know Naresh will have all his details).
Won a very big race in France for Omar Sharif, a story for another day!....
P.S Maybe Muis Roberts could also be considered as a trainer.........

Before my time but off my head I know John Gorton rode Jollify who dead heated with Sea Cottage. I shall check what else I can find.
