Troytown (1913-1920) was a National Hunt racehorse whose career was cut short by a fatal fall in the 1920 Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris. The habit of bludgeoning his way through fences which caused the accident had long been with Troytown. When he won the 1920 Grand National he almost carted his amateur jockey Jack Anthony round the track and survived two mistakes.
