bad ride by pitamn

what ever you say about this race there was probably only one horse in the history of the grand national to the guts,determination and know how to win from where red rum came from and unfortunately for crisp that freak of a horse was coming up right behind him.......one of the the best ever nationals.

@Baskerville22 Not that bad a ride-but i agree,Crisp would have won by a half mile on levels with a better Jockey.He too should have a Statute at Aintree.The best National.

12 stone on his back; an awesome weight carrying performance...I don't think the jockey could have done much more (although he does look a bit agricultural with his method), the horse's legs were turning to jelly whilst Red Rum still looked fresh by comparison as they ran to the line and just needed pushing out after a few whips.

Whose arguing? I have said he was the best. Read what I wrote again.

@julzyboy1973 red rum was the best staying chaser of all time no argument an i really dont think you can argue wiv that name me a better one?

Bry Jones has replied well to your inaccuracies. Fletcher was much under rated and was harshly jocked off Rummy. By now it was 4 years since L'Escargot had won a gold cup, he was carrying less weight and loved the ground. Rummy did very well to even get second. Red Rum was an exceptional horse. Not as classy as Arkle but as a staying chaser he must be the best. Nowadays, you don't see Grand National winners competing in the Scottish Grand National 2 weeks later & winning with top weight.

Crisp was the best. Gave Red Rum 23 lbs & was beated a length after a bad ride....
At level weights, it's Crisp by a half-furlong.
