DVD - GRAND NATIONAL History...RED RUM/L'Escargot/DEVON LOCH/Crisp/GOLDEN MILLE

On DVD or VHS:  Above picture is of the remarkable RED RUM...three-time Grand National champion!

Aintree is regarded as perhaps the most daunting of all race courses. Together with its famous annual spectacle, The Grand National, it has captured the imagination of horsemen from all over. This obscure documentary gives the viewer a unique opportunity to enjoy the triumphs and disappointments of this legendary event.

Very rare archival footage is shown of the first filmed National from 1910 and its winner, JENKINS TOWN, through the 1920's with DOUBLE CHANCE; from 1941-1945, WW II prevented any further Grand Nationals as Aintree housed 16,000 troops. Virtually every Grand National from the 1930's all the way to 1987 is shown....memorable wins alongside heart-breaking, hard-luck stories; legendary horses like GOLDEN MILLER, BATTLESHIP, SHEILA'S COTTAGE (the first mare to win in 1948), RED RUM and ALDANITI; graphic falls and breathtaking jumps.

There is nothing quite like The Grand National: non-stop action over the toughest fences in one of the world's longest races from one of the most enduring and endlessly surprising spectacles in the sporting world.
