Grand National 1998 BBC coverage part 1

[UlsterGroundhopper]

When it comes to builidng up the heritage of any sporting event the Beeb has just always known how to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck in a way that Sky just can't quite get right and ITV have no clue how to even begin to emulate.

This is the way the BBC's coverage should start every year. Love the music and I have it on my iPod.

The music is taken from the movie Champions, an account of Bob Champion's 1981 Grand National win on Aldaniti starring John Hurt.
