About

Major Dundee, an 11yo horse trained by Francesca Poste at Ettington, contested the Fakenham R5 William Bulwer Long Memorial Open Hunters' Chase. He is by the stallion Scorpion out of the dam Be My Granny. To date, Major Dundee has won five races. On 19 March 2023 at Uttoxeter, he claimed his biggest victory, the £84,405 Midlands Grand National, a premier handicap chase. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 53% return on investment.
