Hedgehunter might have won 3 years in a row: Second here by 10 lengths, 2005 won by 14 lengths. 2004 in the lead until the final jump, which he missed and fells. So near, but yet so far....Hedgehunter to me is Number One!!!!!

No horse since Golden Miller has won the CGC and GN in the same season. Garrison Savannah came close, second to Seagram in 1991. Rough Quest was second then went onto win it in 1996 and there are many other combinations. It takes a great feat of training to produce a horse at the GN after running only three weeks before around Cheltenham and being placed.

The Richard Guest trained Timeandtymeagain broke his shoulder at the first and had to be put down.

Not strictly correct. He carried on after falling, but he ran into some rails and broke his shoulder.

Great to watch this again...Numbersixvalverde a worthy winner, jumped and travelled well all the way round. Brilliantly ridden by "Slippers Madden" in what was his first National ride. An ex Irish Grand National winner who loved the big unique National Fences of Aintree.

He was going so well and then what happened? Stupid horse, just shows you never know what they'll do next.

Just thinking the same. Probably not, he didn't really take off. Only the weight beat Hedgehunter that day.

Such a shame Billy Cassidy took that nasty fall after putting in such a superb round of jumping before. I hope the horse was alright, it looked a really bad fall.

Have you got the 1979 National with Alverton putting in an exhibition round of jumping until Becher's second time? Also 2007 onwards on the BBC?
