The event is named after Pendil, a dual-winner of Kempton's King George VI Chase in the 1970s. It used to be named after an earlier "King George" winner, Galloway Braes. For a period the Galloway Braes Novices' Chase was contested over 2 miles, and it was extended to 2½ miles in 1990. It was renamed and increased to its present length in 1993.

gollark: I would really like a modern-ish phone with... well, 4G and the ability to run a browser, I don't really need applications much... which is actually durable.
gollark: Sounds pointlessly expensive.
gollark: I tend to drop my phone and stuff constantly, so not having a case would be silly.
gollark: I already have a big case for it anyway.
gollark: Just make the phone a bit thicker, I guess?
