Brilliant and rare in equal measure. One of my favourite Nationals. If memory serves only 2 of the 8 finishers ran in another National

I was 17 and backed Grittar . I went down to the bookies to collect and the cue was all the way up the high street.

Would you have any pre or post race from the 1981 grand national.

I recall Geraldine Rees getting a lot of stick for not pulling up on Cheers. Even by her own admission here, the poor horse was absolutely knackered. But it was all about being the first female rider to complete the National. And then, 39 years later, we finally had the first female winner. I remember someone commenting that Cheers never ran again after this.

Such a nice recording. Brings back memories. Do you have the unsaddling and interviews after the 1981 National?

Sadly no. Glad you enjoyed this though

I recently read that Dick Saunders was ready to give up the ride for a pro especially after John Thorne's death. Glad he didnt
