Quiscover Fontaine has never won beyond 2 1/2 miles (the Grand National is 4 1/2 miles). But, then again, nor had Gay Trip, who won in 1971. Some do say that a 2 1/2 miler can win the Grand National because they're only hunting round over the first circuit and not racing in earnest until the second circuit.
