Grimpen Mire
I am trying to find out about a horse owned by the late John Robbins, called Grimpen Mire, which won the heavyweight section of the North Cotswold Hunt Members race at Springhill, ridden by Harry Wheeler.
Which year (probably 1967-1973), comments and its age would be very much appreciated. (I have the 1971 annual, which its not in, but that is my only one for that far back).
