Memories.... Red Rum

[Bigfella]

After a night of bad beats I closed down the poker tables and stumbled onto youtube. If you like your horse racing and have ten minutes to spare, this is worth watching - Red Rums 3rd national victory. It's hard to get across on the recording the passion people had for this horse, and the course was a lot tougher back then as you'll see.

Remember his first win? I still find it hard to watch I just feel so sorry for Crisp!

Nice one BigFella.

Hairs on the back of the neck when the crowd are cheering him down the run in.

IIRC my dad had put my 20p on Andy Pandy - but as a young kid what other choice had I got.

crisp was giving red rum a mountain of weight andwould have beat him by 3 fences off levels.

redrum loved aintree and caught the imagination of the nation for many years.
