They almost won the Grand National on their first try but Easter Hero, leading a record field of 66, twisted a plate (which now hangs on the door of his stall at Langollen), limped home second. In the U. S., Jock Whitney began to build his string after his marriage to utterly horsy Mary Elizabeth ("Liz") Altemus of Philadelphia two years...
