SNIPPET: Province of Leinster - Fairyhouse in County Meath, home of the Irish Grand National, is one of Ireland's premier racecourses. First run in 1870, when it was won by "Sir Robert Peel" owned by Mr. L. DUNNE, the Grand National quickly became Ireland's most valuable and prestigious steeplechase. Over the years each race has had its own rich tale, none more amazing than the win in 1929 of a six-year-old mare, "Alike," owned and ridden by Frank WISE who was missing three fingers and who rode with a wooden leg!
