A deserved victory for perseverance Team Spirit at the sixth attempt , his run was timed to perfection , he was only small all the more remarkable , a great victory for Willy Robinson and Fulke Walwyn a master National Hunt trainer .

My first-ever bet was 6d (sixpence) on Team Spirit. My big sister Moira picked Team Spirit for me. It is well I remember it. We love our National Hunt here in Ireland. British Pathé coverage of the Aintree Grand Nationals here on KZbin is absolutely fantastic.

I remember that year because my Dad said to our Family of 4 to each of us to pick a horse, including my Dad, I picked "Team Spirit" because it was my birthdate No. 24, he went to put the bet on and came back & we watched the race & I won, he went to collect the winnings & we shared it between us all. It was a great day that I'll never forget.
