Still makes me cry .You couldnt make this up. Horse and jockey on death row, beat the odds and show that despite what happens you can win dispite the odds that stacked against you
"Just because a life's a little banged up don't mean you gotta throw it away" (from Seabiscuit)
This phrase holds true here too. Bob Champion and Aldaniti proved that no matter what life throws at you anything is possible if you have someone or something to cling onto and believe in.
Sidenote - testicular cancer is a killer, regular checks will save your life guys :))
i know i'm an anorak but seeing CORBIERE flying over these fences makes me laugh when actually he and others never ran in the race, too young!! lol but they had to use film i suppose from that years national 83 when it was made. a very good racing film tho loved it!!
What a courageous Horse this Aldaniti ! That makes me remind of Flambeau C and Jappeloup, Wonderful horses ! I hope they have many many carotts in paradise !!!
What a moment for horse racing that was brillant.
Sadly the trainer of Aldanti, Josh Gifford passed away yesterday.
R.I.P Josh.

I managed to get the score on CD a few years back - crank up the Grand National track to 11 and you cannot help but get taken along by it.
