Rhyme 'n' Reason was a racehorse who won the Grand National in 1988.[1] Ridden by Brendan Powell and starting at odds of 10/1, he finished the race four lengths clear of Durham Edition. It was his only run in the Grand National[2] as he suffered a fractured hock when blundering while jumping Becher's Brook. He had an operation the following day and never raced again.[3]
