  • i bet they didn't charge £5.80 for a beef burger then.I great event but a rip off for the public.

  • Completely awesome - Has anyone got the videos of Neville Crump's winners? 1948 Sheila's Cottage, 1952 Teal and 1960 Merryman II. Would love to see these.

  • 1948 Sheila's Cottage has now been added to you tube

  • My Grandfather bred Shaun Spadah the horse that came second. He won in 1921. Thanks so much for this posting.

  • Is it correct that Shaun Spadah is buried at what used to be Lewes racecourse? Was he trained in Lewes?

  • Hello Smudger and jeda: We have the Sergeant in common! His owner, Laddie Sanford, was my great uncle. As the first American-owned horse to win the National, Sergeant Murphy is bigger than life in my family. I have hundreds of pictures of him. I never dreamed I'd see a film of him! Watching him here in motion after a lifetime of seeing him only in static form is surreal. I now hold the Sanford colors (purple and gold stripes) that he won the National under and run 'chasers in the US.

  • @sirbates2 If your family have any relics of the race they they would be willing to loan then Aintree would be delighted to display it. Jane Clark runs a museum at the course with no public funding. The original colours for example would be fantastic. Aintree have some going back to 1891.

  • George Blackwell the trainer was my Grandmothers half brother, he is much discussed in our familybut i had trouble getting the video to run, pity.

  • PRICELESS! Tuppy Bennet was my grandad's 1st cousin. This is incredible to see. Sergeant Murphy and Tuppy Bennet are legends in my family! Well done and thanks so much for placing this on YouTube!

  • sheer magic, any more please:)

  • great stuff. has anyone got a vid of papillon winning?

  • Bit quiet in those days wasn't it? Seriously though, a great clip.

  • ... the last 13 - year - old to win the National. Probably never be another one ; but you never know.

  • Keep it up we could do with more stuff like this on youtube
