    Lovely coverage, fantastic to see in colour for the first time. Also great that we see Foinavon in the winner's enclosure, without those enormous blinkers! My favourite National.

    Foinavon tuvo mucha suerte, pero mantuvo el tipo muy dignamente y estuvo a la altura de las circunstancias. Vi esta carrera en directo por la tele siendo un niño y se me quedó grabada para siempre. Qué bueno verlo en color y con una calidad tan excepcional!

    I loved the old Aintree, with the big old stables, and the railway sidings.
  • @mrgirthy2111
    We are told they used to hunt around on the 1st circuit but these are going a right steady clip imo
  • @StFidjnr

    They all fell at the fence with the same name as the winning house..
  • @rohansrider
    Nowadays they would have thrown a lot of water on such a steaming horse!

    The only winning bets were a couple of old ladies who liked the name.
